Psychosocial correlates of awareness of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among persons who inject drugs in Northeast Georgia
Despite Georgia having one of the highest rates of new HIV diagnoses in the United States, uptake of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) remains critically low. We assessed the psychosocial correlates associated with PrEP awareness among persons who inject drugs (PWID) living in Northeast Georgia. Data were collected from 173 adult (≥18 years) HIV-negative PWID. PrEP awareness was elicited by the question, "Have you ever heard of PrEP?" (Yes/No).…

“Patients want to see people that look like them”
Midwifery care and racially or culturally concordant care are evidence-based ways to address the current perinatal health crisis and disparate health outcomes in communities of color in the United States. However, the midwifery profession lacks diversity, which hinders its ability to provide racial or culturally concordant care. Therefore, this study sought to understand the perspectives and journeys of aspiring midwives of color to gain insight …
Police shootings, now that seems to be the main issue” – Black pregnant women’s anticipation of police brutality towards their children
Interactions between Black people and police on a personal, familial, community, and societal level influenced how Black pregnant women understand the potential for police brutality towards their children. Anticipated police brutality is a source of stress during pregnancy, which may adversely influence maternal and infant health outcomes. Police brutality must be addressed in all communities to prevent harming the health of birthing people and t…
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…
Features and Impact of Trust-Based Relationships Between Community Health Workers and Low-Resource Perinatal Women with Chronic Health Conditions
The Space in the Middle
Understanding nurses' attitudes toward abortion, and what characteristics may influence their attitudes, is critical to sustaining nursing care for patients considering and seeking abortion. Additionally, because personal characteristics were associated with antiabortion attitudes, it is likely that personal experiences may influence attitudes toward abortion. A large percentage of nurses held attitudes that placed them in the "unsure" category. …

Racial and ethnic disparities in adverse birth outcomes
Racial and ethnic disparities in adverse birth outcomes have persistently been wide and may be explained by individual and area-level factors. Our primary objective was to determine if county-level black-white segregation modified the association between maternal race/ethnicity and adverse birth outcomes using birth records from the National Center for Health Statistics (2012). Based on maternal residence at birth, county-level black-white racial…
Area-level deprivation and preterm birth
Even among commercially-insured women, area-level deprivation was associated with increased risk of preterm birth. Similar to individual socioeconomic status, area-level deprivation does not have a threshold effect. Implementation of policies to reduce area-level deprivation, and the screening and treatment of maternal mediators may be associated with a lower risk of preterm birth

Trends, Countertrends, and Gaps in Women's Employment
Women, Empowerment, and Economic Development
Development policies and programs tend not to view women as integral to the economic development process. This is reflected in the higher investments in women's reproductive rather than their productive roles, mainly in population programs. Yet women throughout the developing world engage in economically productive work and earn incomes. They work primarily in agriculture and in the informal sector and, increasingly, in formal wage employment. Th…

Swaziland's Macro-Economic Development Environment
During mid-1985 a combined team of expatriate consultants and Swaziland experts examined in some detail the water-development options in the Komati river basin.1 This short article presents the abbreviated macro-economic 'home' that we constructed, because our policy and investment recommendations had to be consistent with the Government's overall development objectives. The incentive to publish our findings was prompted by the dearth of relevant…
