Abstract

This narrative describes how a stillbirth advocate and an epidemiologist have worked together to advocate for federal legislation to address stillbirth in the United States. It alternates between each of their perspectives to illustrate how they have leveraged their complementary skills and experiences with the hope that fewer families will experience the tragedy of stillbirth.

Keywords: Advocacy; Legislation; Stillbirth.
