Intention To Breastfeed: Breastfeeding Attitudes, Norms, Self-Efficacy, Social Support Network And Community Resources Of African American, Low-Income, Emerging Adult Women, Pregnant For The First Time, Sara E. Brown
Theses & Dissertations
African American (AA) women continue to have the lowest rates of breastfeeding. This continues to create a health disparity even though breastfeeding is extensively recognized in the scientific and health care communities as the optimal feeding choice for infants. This study examined the relationship between the external variables (social support network and community resources) and the explanatory variables (attitudes, norms, and perceived self-efficacy) and intention to breastfeed, for the AA, first time, low-income, emerging adult pregnant woman. The Integrated Behavior Model (IBM) was used as the theoretical framework to guide this study in better understanding the variables influencing breastfeeding intention. …

Giving Birth At A Critical Time: Assessing Perinatal Depression Among Syrian Refugees In Low Resource Settings, Nada Alnaji
Theses & Dissertations
Refugee mothers are at an increased risk of suffering from stress and mental health conditions during the first year after giving birth to a child. The objective of this study is to enhance the early identification of treatable mental health conditions among perinatal women living within humanitarian settings. The central hypothesis is that a culturally specific approach can be helpful for the long-term success of mental health efforts. In this study, we use qualitative interview methods to understand the cultural paradigms and predisposing factors for perinatal depression related to being a Syrian refugee in Lebanon during the COVID-19 pandemic. In …

Perinatal Periods Of Risk: Examination Of Data Quality & Inclusion Criteria, New Unbiased Reference Groups, And A Nationwide County-Level Analysis, Carol S. Gilbert
Theses & Dissertations
Records of births, infant deaths, and fetal deaths are compiled by the US Vital Records System and used to monitor population health and guide health policy. The Perinatal Periods of Risk Approach (PPOR) relies on vital records data to address fetal and infant mortality in US cities. It uses reference groups to estimate preventable mortality by risk period. To avoid biased analyses due to poor data quality for small and early infant and fetal deaths, an expert committee recommended that PPOR analyses exclude fetal deaths delivered at gestational age (GA) <24 >weeks, and infant deaths and live births with birthweights (BW) …
