In 2023, recognizing that in the U.S., responsibility for healthcare systems and health outcomes largely fall to the states, the Policy Center introduced the inaugural maternal mental health reports to identify key data sets and track results by state. The 2024 report cards highlight progress and remaining areas of opportunity.

In 2024, the overall national grade improved slightly from a D to a D+ as state grades inched upwards. Thirty-four state grades improved; four states earned Bs (an increase from 1 state in 2023) and five states earned failing grades (down from 15 states in 2023).
