A multi-level explanatory-sequential mixed-methods study of perinatal toxicology practices in New York State: Protocol
Our findings will inform how to improve disparities in toxicology testing for pregnant and postpartum women. Addressing these challenges requires shifting emphasis toward standardized, evidence-based toxicology testing protocols, strengthening pathways to supportive services, and advancing policy reforms that reduce stigma and inequities in care.
