Editorial/accompanying illustration for RESPECCT, a study by Birthplace Lab. Birthplace Lab, in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia, works in community-based participatory research and knowledge translation around equitable access to high quality perinatal services.

The RESPECCT study, conducted between 2020 and 2022, is a community-led study of experiences of care during pregnancy and childbirth. One part of the publishing of the data involved creating poems from some of the findings. Come Back With A Dead Baby was one of these pieces, a text where each line represented the experience of a different participant.
