Needs Assessment for Creating a Patient-Centered Community-Engaged Health Program for Homeless Pregnant Women

摘要

PurposeWomen who experience homelessness during pregnancy have poorer birth outcomes than the general population. This exploratory research describes the needs assessment of homeless women currently living at a shelter in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to identify unmet needs related to maternal and infant perinatal health as the first step in designing a mutually beneficial patient-centered service-learning program for medical students to address these needs.
