Perinatal healthcare access, perceived quality, and preferences among historically underrepresented mother–infant dyads: a mixed methods study
Women's perspectives reflected the need for multilevel support with specific attention to community and relationship strengthening, provider engagement, and policy reforms around social support (e.g., benefits and insurance). Findings suggested that prioritizing holistic, patient-centered perspectives may enhance interactions with healthcare systems and contribute to improving perinatal health equity.
