Abstract:
The Healthy People 2010 objectives call for the elimination of racial disparities in health, along with reductions in several multifactorial perinatal outcomes. Evidence-based interventions have been the focus of discussion to date. We propose a 6-component framework based on knowledge from the social, medical, psychological, and epidemiological literatures to guide development of interventions to reduce preterm delivery and eliminate disparities. Pilot testing and rigorous evaluation of the interventions developed from this framework are encouraged.
