| This session will address concepts, issues, and intervention modalities related to child and maternal health. Approximately 50 percent of all pregnancies in the United States are unintended. It has been suggested that some women may become sexually active or pregnant to fill a gap in their lives. Low childhood socioeconomic position is associated with both very preterm delivery and moderate preterm delivery in African American and White women. Recently, child welfare policy on the state and national level began endorsing permanent placement for children residing in custody of the child welfare system. Adoption services became the focus for state agencies as well as non-profit organizations. Much of the work of child advocates concentrated on seeking families interested in parenting children, and providing adoption preparation services to both the children and perspective parents. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, participants will: 1. identify factors that effect the relationship between prenancy intention and social well-being. 2) Describe the contribution of depressive symptoms and low childhood socioeconomic position in very preterm delivery (<=32 weeks of gestation) and moderate preterm delivery (33-36 weeks of gestation) in a prospective cohort study and 3)be encouraged to think about how families’ experiences should be incorporated in policy decisions. 1 | |||
