Poster | |||
| |||
| This poster session will provide the attendee with national and international perspectives on the issue of barriers to care which influence perinatal outcomes, and a description of interventions that have been designed to address the challenges in proving sufficient and timely obstetrical care to all. Additionally, a focus of this session involves examining the association between maternal and obstetrical risk factors (i.e., smoking, pregnancy intentions and feelings) and birth outcomes, including birth defects and injuries. Barriers to care that will be reviewed in this session include medical liability claims, maternal mobility and disregard for local cultural practices in medical facilities. Interventions designed to reduce adverse birth outcomes include home visitation and educational programs such as regional perinatal conferences. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) in this session will be able to: 1. Define relationship between maternal and infant risk factors and birth outcomes. 2. Identify barriers to improving birth outcomes in international and national settings. 3. Describe interventions designed to address adverse perinatal outcomes. | |||
