Contraceptive Alignment
Conventional metrics of contraceptive need focus on contraceptive use among those not seeking pregnancy, ignoring individuals' contraceptive preferences beyond pregnancy prevention. We examine contraceptive alignment, a novel metric describing agreement between actual and preferred method use/nonuse, among a 2022 nationally representative U.S. sample of 15-44-year-olds assigned female sex at birth (unweighted n = 3,044). Most respondents (62.2 pe…
Experiences of discrimination in reproductive healthcare
Experiences of discrimination in healthcare settings contribute to inequities in healthcare access and outcomes. Black, Latina, and Indigenous communities have lower levels of trust in reproductive healthcare due to a longstanding history of abuses. In this context, discriminatory behaviors by providers may be particularly problematic. This study aimed to test the psychometric properties of a nine-item measure of lifetime experiences of discrimin…
No strings attached
Economic insecurity during pregnancy is a critical social determinant of maternal and infant health. Traditional public assistance programs often fail to meet the needs of marginalized communities, particularly Black and Pacific Islander (Pasifika) pregnant women and people. Guaranteed income (GI)–unconditional cash transfers for specific populations–has emerged as a potential solution, but little is known about the experiences of participants ac…

Covid-19 Impact On Black and Latina Women
The coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic presented unique challenges for pregnant women and birthing individuals, particularly those from Black and Latino communities. Understanding the impact of the pandemic on their experiences is crucial for providing adequate support and care during vulnerable times. This research delves into the specific effects of COVID-19 on maternal stress and resilience. We conducted in-depth interviews with a subsample of…
What Do Community Doulas Think About the Future of the Doula Workforce
Introduction Expanding access to doula care is a key strategy for improving the perinatal experiences and health outcomes of birthing people of color in the U.S. This study investigates the future of maternal healthcare in the U.S. from the perspective of doulas and highlights emerging technology and other opportunities related to strengthening the doula workforce. Methods The study recruited community doulas from 12 unique U.S. states, ensuring …
Building Capacity for Research on Community Doula Care
The findings of our stakeholder-engaged process provide a roadmap that will lead to equity-oriented research centering clients, doulas, and their communities
Facilitators and Barriers to Medicaid Doula Benefit Implementation in California
Physician Perspectives on the Role of Social Workers in Reporting Alcohol and Drug Use in Pregnancy to Child Protective Services
“An extra layer of pressure to be my best self”
Despite the importance of respectful pregnancy care, birthing people experience high rates of mistreatment in clinical settings in the United States. In light of persistent racialized maternal and infant health inequities, doula care is increasingly promoted as an intervention. Limited research has examined healthcare providers’ experiences with doulas. As part of an evaluation of community doula programs in San Francisco, California, we intervie…
Supporting Birthing People and Supporting Doulas
This analysis contributes to a growing body of literature describing doulas' experiences during the pandemic. By shifting to virtual support, SisterWeb leaders prioritized the health, safety, and financial stability of doulas, who were members of communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. Our findings suggest that public health guidance, organizational COVID-19 precautions, and hospital policies hindered SisterWeb's goal of ensuring cli…
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…
Alignment of Abolition Medicine With Reproductive Justice
Abolition medicine and reproductive justice are synergistic approaches that advance a radical vision of a racially just world. Abolition medicine and reproductive justice push medical and carceral systems towards a focus on the structural factors that impede safe and dignified parenting and childrearing
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and birth outcomes in California
These findings suggest weak to modest initial benefits of DACA for select birthweight outcomes during the period immediately following DACA passage for Mexican-born individuals whose births were billed to Medicaid; any benefits were subsequently attenuated to the null. The benefits of DACA for population health may not have been sufficient to counteract the impacts of threats to the program's future and heightened immigration enforcement occurrin…
Interpregnancy Interval and Birth Outcomes
This study demonstrates a dose response association between short IPI and adverse birth outcomes, with no increased risk beyond 12 months. Findings suggest that longer IPI recommendations may be overly proscriptive
Barriers and Facilitators to the Implementation of a Community Doula Program for Black and Pacific Islander Pregnant People in San Francisco
Our findings suggest developing community doula programs pay close attention to the difference between launching a program versus an organization, including the required resources of each, the sustainability of payment models for community doulas, and the provision of culturally relevant, needed services within priority communities. Furthermore, strategic partnerships with maternal health stakeholders in birthing sites, particularly hospitals, ar…
Desire, acceptability, and expected resolution
This analysis reinforces that the construct of mistimed pregnancy is too restrictive to reflect the inherent diversity of prospective pregnancy orientation. The combination of relationship type as a grouping variable for stratified analyses, financial hardships' impact, and the overall effect of increasing age on increasing interest in pregnancy suggest the importance of locating pregnancy intentions within the broader reproductive life course. S…
My 9 to 5 Job Is Birth Work”
With the increased policy emphasis on promoting doula care to advance birth equity in the United States, there is a vital need to identify sustainable and equitable approaches for compensation of community doulas, who serve clients experiencing the greatest barriers to optimal pregnancy-related outcomes. This case study explores two different approaches for compensating doulas (contractor versus hourly employment with benefits) utilized by Sister…
It's Being Compassionate, Not Making Assumptions”
A lack of patient-centered, TNB-competent care in structurally gendered health settings exacerbates health care and health inequities for TNB young adults
Structural Inequity and Pregnancy Desires in Emerging Adulthood
Invisible and unequal
Despite increasing awareness of the importance of political determinants of health, place-based research has not interrogated one of the most common political statuses: the impact of living in a community without municipal incorporation. In 2010 an estimated 37% of the U.S. population lived in an unincorporated area; despite their ubiquity, unincorporated communities are largely absent from the public health literature. Residents of unincorporate…
The association between religiosity and pregnancy acceptability among Latino/a young adults
The US Latino/a population is considered to be at high risk for unintended pregnancy; some research indicates that Latino/a parents are more likely to express happiness about an unintended pregnancy than other racial/ethnic groups. Associations between pregnancy attitudes and factors such as religiosity and nativity have also been documented in the Latino/a population, but existing research is sparse, dated and primarily focused on women of Mexic…
We Kind of Met In‐Between ”
The relationship context is important in the formulation of prospective pregnancy intentions among young people. Counseling protocols, interventions and policies that attend to the complex factors that influence young couples' pregnancy decision making are needed to better help couples attain their reproductive goals
Advancing Reproductive Justice to Close the Health Gap
Reproductive justice is an intersectional social movement, theory, and praxis well aligned with social work's mission and values. Yet, advancing reproductive justice-the right to have children, to not have children, to parent with safety and dignity, and to sexual and bodily autonomy-has not been a signature area of scholarship and practice for the field. This article argues that it is critical for social work to advance reproductive justice to t…
Women or Larc First? Reproductive Autonomy And the Promotion of Long‐Acting Reversible Contraceptive Methods
Testing the Cycle of Violence Hypothesis
Child abuse is an important determinant of future violence perpetration and victimization. Past research examining linkages between child abuse and adult intimate partner violence (IPV) has predominantly focused on married individuals and not considered adolescent dating violence. In the present study, data from three waves of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health are used to examine the impact of child abuse and adolescent dating …
Tooth scaling and evolutionary dwarfism
Gould has predicted that in rapidly dwarfed lineages the postcanine teeth exhibit a different scaling pattern than is the normal interspecific trend. His prediction of strong negative allometry has not been frequently tested in quantitative detail. Here we present results of scaling analyses of the molar teeth in African pygmies compared with other Africans of larger size and in Philippine pygmies compared with Filipinos of larger size. We find a…
The Misclassification of Ambivalence in Pregnancy Intentions
Current approaches to measuring pregnancy ambivalence may fail to capture the intricacies of pregnancy intentions and may be ineffective if they do not account for young people's experiences, especially when used to inform clinical practice, programs and policy

Is That A Method of Birth Control?” A Qualitative Exploration of Young Women’s Use of Withdrawal
Despite its ubiquity, withdrawal is understudied as a family planning method. We investigated the context of and decision making around withdrawal use, drawing on in-depth, qualitative interviews with 38 Black and Latina women (ages 18 to 24). We examined contraceptive use histories to understand when and why participants used withdrawal. The majority of participants (n = 29; 76%) had used withdrawal in their lifetimes, though two-thirds of users…

Intersections Between Childhood Abuse and Adult Intimate Partner Violence Among Ecuadorian Women
Using Multiple Sampling Approaches to Measure Sexual Risk‐taking Among Young People in Haiti
No previous published research has examined the applicability of varying methods for identifying young people who are at high risk of experiencing unintended pregnancy and acquiring HIV infection. This study compares three surveys of young people aged 15–24 in Port‐au‐Prince, Haiti, in terms of their sociodemographic characteristics and sexual behaviors and the surveys' usefulness for identifying young people at high risk and for program planning…

Sexual behavior and HIV risk among age-discrepant, same-sex male couples
Research has suggested that men who have sex with men and who have older sexual partners are at increased risk of HIV infection. However, while several studies have explored risk among men in age-discrepant non-primary partnerships, only two have explored age discrepancy and risk in primary same-sex male relationships. We used data from semi-structured in-depth interviews to explore sexual behaviour and HIV risk among 14 Black, white and interrac…

Motivations for Interest, Disinterest and Uncertainty in Intrauterine Device Use Among Young Women
More Than a Destination
This journey creates a rich body of evidence that informs contraceptive decision making. To provide appropriate, acceptable, patient-centered family planning care, providers must engage with evidence grounded in women's expertise on their contraceptive use in addition to medically accurate data on method effectiveness, side effects, and contraindications
It would have control over me instead of me having control’
In the past decade, enthusiasm for intrauterine devices (IUDs) has rapidly grown in the United States. Messages from health care providers, pharmaceutical advertisements, and public health campaigns extol the freedom that women can experience using a long-term, internal, highly effective contraceptive method. Little research has investigated how young women conceptualize IUDs in terms of freedom and control. We conducted a thematic analysis of in…
Structural Competency and Reproductive Health
Reproductive health disparities-particularly those experienced by racial and ethnic minority groups-are considered a persistent public health issue in the United States. Frameworks that focus on social determinants of health seek to identify the forces producing these disparities, particularly social conditions that create vulnerability to premature death and disease. Such frameworks pose challenges to health care provision, as structural factors…
It's Not Planned, But Is It Okay? The Acceptability of Unplanned Pregnancy Among Young People
Privately Insured Women’s Expectations of Contraceptive Access without the Affordable Care Act and the Influence of State Contraceptive Equity Protections
Under the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) contraceptive coverage mandate, privately insured women can obtain contraception without cost sharing—a provision that the federal government is attempting to roll back. If this occurs, some states’ contraceptive equity laws will continue to guarantee no-cost contraception. Analyzing national survey data, we investigate whether residence in a state with contraceptive equity protections is associated with expe…
