Bridging the Chasm between Pregnancy and Health over the Life Course: A National Agenda for Research and Action

By Judith Bernstein, RNC, PhD, Lois McCloskey, DrPH, MPH
Added: August 24, 2021
LearnPartner Content

Abstract

Background

Many pregnant people find no bridge to ongoing specialty or primary care after giving birth, even when clinical and social complications of pregnancy signal need. Black, indigenous, and all other women of color are especially harmed by fragmented care and access disparities, coupled with impacts of racism over the life course and in health care.
