5138.0 Improving Pregnancy Outcomes: Findings from the Community & Child Network Preconceptional Health Study

Wednesday, October 31, 2012: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Oral
This session covers conceptualization, methodology, and preliminary findings from the Community Child Health Research Network Study. CCHN is a multidisciplinary, longitudinal, community-based participatory research effort to examine the complex associations among community, family, and individual level stressors that may affect maternal and infant health and contribute to persistent disparities in pregnancy and infant/early childhood outcomes. The study aims to identify factors associated with maternal stress and allostatic load during the interconception period and to examine how those factors may influence outcomes in a subsequent pregnancy.
Session Objectives: Participants in this session will be able to: 1)describe CCHN's conceptual framework for reducing racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in birth outcomes 2) list innovative features of CCHN's design and methods 3) discuss preliminary CCHN results pertaining to maternal stress, resilience resources, and salivary biomarkers of allostatic load

Discussion Findings from CCHN offer a unique opportunity to advance the field in improving pregnancy outcomes as it is the only prospective longitudinal multi-site study with pre-pregnancy psychosocial and biological data. We plan to have an integrative discussion the development and implementation of our pregnancy network, findings from the presentations, plans for next steps and recommendations for public health, policy, and practice. Robin Lanzi will respond based on her experience as Academic Co-PI and Loretta will respond based on her experience as Community Co-PI. Robin Gaines Lanzi, PhD, MPH and Loretta S. Jones, MA
