Using SAM to Model the Prevalence of Preeclampsia, its Risk Factors, and Mortality

To help address the specific maternal health issue of Preeclampsia, I had the goal of modeling a visual representation risk factors for this health condition using a simulation and secondary research. Some of the most important risk factors for Preeclampsia include chronic hypertension prior to or during pregnancy, previous history of preeclampsia or family history of preeclampsia, multiple pregnancies, race (especially Black and Asian women), lack of prenatal care, and advanced maternal age[3]. We can draw attention to the issue of maternal health and maternal mortality by creating this simulation.
