Improving maternal health equity through community engagement

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND PARTNERSHIP (CEP)

NIH-funded research Stanford University · NIH-10908646

This study is all about working together with patients and community members to better understand and tackle postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), a serious issue that affects many new moms, especially those from Asian, Black, Latinx, and Native American backgrounds, so we can find better ways to support them and improve their health.

What this research studies

This research aims to involve patients and community stakeholders in all phases of a project focused on postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), a leading cause of severe maternal health issues. By prioritizing groups disproportionately affected by PPH, such as Asian, Black, Latinx, and Native American individuals, the project seeks to understand their lived experiences and identify effective interventions. The approach emphasizes strong partnerships with communities to ensure that their voices are heard and integrated into research priorities. This collaborative effort aims to reduce disparities in maternal morbidity and mortality associated with PPH.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation include individuals from Asian, Black, Latinx, and Native American communities, particularly those who have experienced postpartum hemorrhage.

Not a fit: Patients who do not belong to the targeted communities or have not experienced postpartum hemorrhage may not receive direct benefits from this research.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved maternal health outcomes and reduced disparities for vulnerable populations.

How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that community engagement in health research can lead to significant improvements in health equity and outcomes, indicating a promising approach.
