| Maternal and perinatal health are important aspects of reproductive health (RH) programs, especially as programs move toward more comprehensive and integrated approaches to services. Antenatal and postnatal care, safe deliveries, and emergency obstetric care are all areas that have increasing overlap with more traditional and vertical RH programs. This panel presents findings on various aspects of maternal and perinatal health as they may possibly relate to RH settings and perspectives. Both international and US experiences are described, presenting both qualitative and quantitative research findings. Results should help RH professionals better understand maternal and perinatal health issues and ensure effective integration where called for in RH programs. Topics covered include: determinants of maternal health care in Bangladesh, involving men in antenatal care in Turkey, emergency obstetric care in Guatemala, screening for genetic diseases during antenatal care (Israel), ultrasound viewing and abortion decisions (US), and effects of new US regulations to allow state insurance coverage of fetuses. | |||
| Learning Objectives: By the end of the session, participants will be able to: 1) identify factors associated with the utilization of maternal health care services in Bangladesh and cite barriers to further reductions in maternal mortality 2) describe potential risks and benefits of including men in antenatal education in a developing country setting (Turkey) 3) cite the most important topics to include when educating expectant fathers 4) describe five steps vital in community mobilization for emergency obstetric care and other aspects of safe motherhood 5) compare providers' and patients' points of view regarding prenatal carrier testing for genetic diseases 6) describe patients' attitudes about elective abortion after viewing an ultrasound in a pregnancy resource center 7) describe how select US states have implemented the option to cover fetuses with state insurance funds, and the implications for immigrant pregnant women and other low-income women | |||
