Community partnerships to improve care after heavy bleeding in childbirth
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND PARTNERSHIP (CEP)
This project brings patients, families, and community groups together with clinicians to design better care and support for people who have heavy bleeding after childbirth.

What this research studies
You, family members, and community groups will be invited to work directly with researchers and hospital leaders to shape research on postpartum hemorrhage. The team will build and sustain bidirectional partnerships, hold meetings, and collect patients' lived experiences to set priorities and guide projects. Your input will help shape study questions, materials, and care practices so research reflects real needs after severe bleeding in childbirth. Engagement activities may include advisory roles, interviews, focus groups, and local community events.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal participants are people who experienced postpartum hemorrhage, their family members or caregivers, and representatives of community organizations focused on maternal health.
Not a fit: People who have never been pregnant or who are seeking a direct medical treatment rather than helping shape research are unlikely to gain direct clinical benefit from participation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could make research and care for postpartum hemorrhage more responsive to patient needs, improving recovery and reducing severe complications.
How similar studies have performed: Community engagement has improved relevance and uptake in other maternal-health efforts, but applying these methods specifically to postpartum hemorrhage is less common and seeks to address that gap.
