Community-Based Approaches to Developing a Community-Level Intervention to Improve Black Maternal and Infant Health
Economic Insecurities and Mental Health Among Low-Income Pregnant People in the Central Valley Region of California
We found low-income pregnant people experience significant economic insecurities that may impact mental health adversely. Programs that increase economic supports during pregnancy may serve as important maternal mental health interventions, especially among racial/ethnic minoritized groups
Experiences of Discrimination in Medical Settings in a Pregnant Population with Low Income
Our findings highlight the high prevalence of DMS in a pregnant population with low income. This study adds to existing calls for providers to be mindful of patients' lifetime experiences in the community that may impact their perception of care in medical settings
Automating Racism
Objective The clinical application of race-adjusted algorithms may perpetuate health inequities. We assessed the impact of the vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) calculator, which was revised in 2021 to address concerns about equity. The original algorithm factored race and ethnicity and gave lower VBAC probabilities to Black and Hispanic patients. Methods From 2019 to 2020, we conducted a multi-site, ethnographic study consisting of interviews …
Estimating the effect of timing of earned income tax credit refunds on perinatal outcomes
This analysis offers a novel method to impute EITC eligibility using a probabilistic algorithm in a data set with richer sociodemographic information relative to the clinical and administrative data sets from which outcomes are drawn. These results could be used to determine the optimal intervention time point for future income supplementation policies. Future work should examine frequent income supplementation such as the minimum wage or basic i…
It was just one moment that I felt like I was being judged
Black women and birthing people shared that exposure to racism has heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing their levels of stress and anxiety. Understanding how racism impacts Black birthing people's lives and care experiences is critical to reforming the police force and revising enhanced prenatal care models to better address their needs
Adaptation of the Person-Centered Maternity Care Scale in the United States
Risk and Protective Factors for Preterm Birth Among Black Women in Oakland, California
Subjective Social Status and Depression Symptoms
Attitudes Toward Birth Spacing Among Low-Income, Postpartum Women
The effect of weight loss on changes in health-related quality of life among overweight and obese women with urinary incontinence
Comparison and correlates of three preference-based health-related quality-of-life measures among overweight and obese women with urinary incontinence
Risk and the Pregnant Body
Reasoning well about risk is most challenging when a woman is pregnant, for patient and doctor alike. During pregnancy, we tend to note the risks of medical interventions without adequately noting those of failing to intervene, yet when it's time to give birth, interventions are seldom questioned, even when they don't work. Meanwhile, outside the clinic, advice given to pregnant women on how to stay healthy in everyday life can seem capricious an…
Tamoxifen for Breast Cancer Risk Reduction
BACKGROUND: In cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA), the effects of health-care interventions on multiple health dimensions typically require consideration of both quantity and quality of life. OBJECTIVES: To explore the impact of alternative approaches to quality-of-life adjustment using patient preferences (utilities) on the outcome of a CEA on use of tamoxifen for breast cancer risk reduction. RESEARCH DESIGN: A state transition Markov model trac…
Perceptions of Prenatal Testing for Birth Defects among Rural Latinas
Development of an Attitudes Measure for Prenatal Screening in Diverse Populations
Objective and subjective assessments of socioeconomic status and their relationship to self-rated health in an ethnically diverse sample of pregnant women.
A new measure of subjective socioeconomic status (SES) was examined in relation to self-rated physical health in pregnant women. Except among African Americans, subjective SES was significantly related to education, household income, and occupation. Subjective SES was significantly related to self-rated health among all groups. In multiple regression analyses, subjective SES was a significant predictor of self-rated health after the effects of ob…
Who should be offered prenatal diagnosis? The 35-year-old question
Prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal disorders is generally offered to women who will be 35 years or older at the time of delivery or who have been determined via serum screening to be at risk similar to that of a woman older than 35 years. This age threshold was based on 4 major rationales that reflect considerations of resources and effectiveness. In this paper, we explore the current screening recommendations and consider new information that cal…
