Beschreibung

Among womens health concerns, reproductive issues, both prenatal and postpartum, hold particular prominence. Yet despite the many programs dedicated to improving womens reproductive health, maternal and infant morbidity and mortality rates in minority communities remain unchangedor have increased. Confronting this alarming statistic head-on,Reducing Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Reproductive and Perinatal Outcomes is the first book systematically examining public health interventions designed toward meeting this important and elusive goal. Its contributors offer the best thinking and practice on this complicated topic, clarifying the relationship between evidence-based medicine and evidence-based public health and its potential for increasing parity, considering interventions in the multiple contexts of womens lives, reviewing the evidence base for each program or initiative featured, and describing methodologies for evaluating interventions. The resulting volume advocates for an integrative lifespan approach, including topics related to:

Family planningSTI and HIV/AIDS screening and treatmentSmoking cessation and reducing exposure to environmental smokePreconceptional well-woman careDepression screening and treatmentLabor/delivery approaches and intrapartum careEmerging prenatal care interventions, from centering pregnancy to doula support

For professionals and graduate students in psychiatry, psychology, sociology, womens health, and public health,Reducing Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Reproductive and Perinatal Outcomes reframes a set of ongoing issues and guides the reader toward state-of-the-art solutions.
