Abstract:
Our study explored risk factors and birth outcomes of a community maternal and child outreach program for high poverty mothers in East and Central Harlem. We conducted a retrospective chart review of 75 mother-infant dyads, with singleton pregnancies, receiving antepartum and postpartum home visits. Inexperienced parenting was associated with increased odds of giving birth to an infant weighing <2,700 g compared to experienced parenting after adjustment for race/ethnicity and preeclampsia diagnosis (odds ratio (OR) 4.9, p = 0.04). Mothers had comparatively lower depression risk in the postpartum period compared to antepartum (p = 0.006).
