Pregnancy Outcomes in Minority Populations
Statistics
show an increased incidence of poor perinatal outcomes among minority women,
and certain perinatal risk factors appear to be more prevalent among this
population. Prenatal care is important in evaluating risk, promoting health,
and managing complications in pregnancy, yet disparity of and access to care
place these vulnerable women at increased risk. The Perinatal
Partnership will study these disparities and work to find a solution that
works for West Virginia.
