On Tuesday, September 29, 2020 from 9:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m. ET, NINR will hold a virtual workshop on innovative models of care for reducing inequities in maternal health. The workshop will explore the utilization of nurses, midwives, and birth companions to improve maternal and infant health outcomes, specifically in women in health disparity populations. This event will be available to join via VideoCast.
Research Questions:
- What is the impact of alternative birth settings and providers on maternal and infant health?
- What are the elements of culturally appropriate, patient-centered care that are safe, effective, and adequately resourced?
- What factors are important for the success of collaborative care in birth settings?
- What are the structural barriers that inhibit women from health disparity groups from seeking health care during pregnancy?
- What models, traditional and non-traditional, exist to address attainment of health literacy for health disparity populations during pregnancy and delivery and post-partum?
