ReDesigning Partner Compensation in Perinatal Community-Based Participatory Research
Perinatal community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an effective approach to elevate and address the high rates of adverse outcomes and inequities during the perinatal period. It relies on authentic partnerships between academic researchers and community-based organizations and community advisory board members, many of whom are women. Challenges to compensation of community partners exist within perinatal CBPR related to bureaucratic restr…
The 2025 Georgetown University Perinatal Symposium
Introduction and Purpose: The perinatal period is a crucial time for the health and well-being of pregnant, birthing, and postpartum individuals, infants, families, and their communities. However, deep structural and social inequities, including racism and other forms of discrimination, impact access to, utilization of, and quality of perinatal care. These inequities contribute to worsening maternal mortality and morbidity rates in the United Sta…

Findings highlight that homelessness during pregnancy reflects cumulative adversity which compound across the life course, with the potential to cause intergenerational consequences for maternal and infant health. Policies that ensure stable, safe housing during the perinatal period, integrated mental health care, and economic supports are urgently needed. We identify critical opportunities for policy and practice reforms, emphasizing the need fo…

In an effort to construct a criterion measure and research tool that is not limited to one or two aspects of the labor and delivery experience, the authors created the Labor and Delivery …
Accuracy of Birth Certificate and Hospital Discharge Data

These databases' utility is limited by the lag time from occurrence of disease events until records are available for analysis. We developed the Public Health Laboratory Information System (PHLIS), a PC-based electronic reporting system for entering, editing, and analyzing…
