SISTERS UNITED

SISTERS UNITED SISTERS United is a community-based initiative with African American sororities who are working together to decrease infant mortality in Arkansas.

In Arkansas, African Americans account for only 20% of the state’s births, however they make up 33% of the total infant deaths. In an effort to combat this major health disparity, the Arkansas Department of Health has developed a community-based focused initiative with African American sororities called SISTERS UNITED. The graduate chapters of these sororities, which include Alpha Kappa Alpha, De

lta Sigma Theta, Zeta Phi Beta, and Sigma Gamma Rho, are working together to spread messages in the African American community aimed at reducing the state’s infant mortality rate. Youtube video’s highlighting 4 focus areas including folic acid, annual flu shots, breastfeeding and safe sleep will be utilized to disseminate these messages via the internet.
