Barriers to Care and Evidenced Based Research in Maternity Health Services
This poster session will address several barriers to maternity care. It will give examples of economic disincentives for ignoring evidence-based maternity care practices. We will explore state incentives for increasing out-of-hospital maternity care settings. The session will articulate innovative stategies for working with pregnant and parenting adolescents, new practices that help with pelvic floor exercises and urinary incontenience, immunization issues of the pregnant woman, and self esteem issues in bilingual clients.
