Summary

The Pregnancy Loss Mental Health Research Act would direct the National Institute of Mental Health to increase studies on conditions such as persistent complex bereavement disorder that can follow miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion, and to launch a national longitudinal study on how common and severe these problems are. It also changes the Public Health Service Act so federal grant money can be used for screening, treatment and support services for people who have experienced a pregnancy loss, while prohibiting funds from going to entities that perform abortions except in narrow medical or legal cases. The goal is to improve understanding, diagnosis and care for those affected.
