Yet despite the many programs dedicated to improving women’s reproductive health, maternal and infant morbidity and mortality rates in minority communities remain unchanged—or have increased. Confronting this alarming statistic head-on, \u003ci\u003eReducing Racial\/Ethnic Disparities in Reproductive and Perinatal Outcomes\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book systematically examining public health interventions designed toward meeting this important and elusive goal. Its contributors offer the best thinking and practice on this complicated topic, clarifying the relationship between evidence-based medicine and evidence-based public health and its potential for increasing parity, considering interventions in the multiple contexts of women’s lives, reviewing the evidence base for each program or initiative featured, and describing methodologies for evaluating interventions. The resulting volume advocates for an integrative lifespan approach, including topics related to:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily planning \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTI and HIV\/AIDS screening and treatment \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoking cessation and reducing exposure to environmental smoke \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreconceptional well-woman care \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepression screening and treatment \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabor\/delivery approaches and intrapartum care \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmerging prenatal care interventions, from centering pregnancy to doula support \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor professionals and graduate students in psychiatry, psychology, sociology, women’s health, and public health, \u003ci\u003eReducing Racial\/Ethnic Disparities in Reproductive and Perinatal Outcomes\u003c\/i\u003e reframes a set of ongoing issues and guides the reader toward state-of-the-art solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-08-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781489977502\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4419-1499-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 461\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266550714508,"sku":"9781489977502","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781489977502.jpg?v=1770824674","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781489977502","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
