Social Determinants
Credibility 80
Strategies for risk communication during prenatal care among recently pregnant Black women.
October 7, 2026 · Patient education and counseling
Key takeaway
Black women want doctors to talk openly about how racism affects their pregnancies. This helps us get better care by working with our doctors to address risks and create personalized plans.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in social determinants helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
