The proposal: Assessing the needs of pregnant women in low-income communities to improve health outcomes

Introduction:

Pregnancy is a crucial period in a woman’s life, and it is vital to ensure that women receive adequate healthcare services to support their physical and emotional well-being. Pregnant women living in communities with low incomes face many barriers to accessing high-quality healthcare. Among these barriers are financial restrictions, limited access, inadequate education and lack of social support. This project aims to identify the health needs of low-income pregnant women and improve their outcomes.

Goal:

It is the goal of this research project to better maternal and foetal health by identifying primary needs in pregnant women from low-income areas. This project is designed to identify and address the most urgent needs.

Target Audience:

This project targets pregnant women living in communities with low income. Project participants will include healthcare professionals, community-based groups, and policymakers with an interest in improving pregnancy outcomes.

Assessing Needs

A mixed-methods project will be used to evaluate the needs of women pregnant in communities with low income. This assessment will use both qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques, such as surveys, focus groups, and interviews in depth. The assessment will be focused on the identification of:

1. Access to healthcare services for pregnant women is a barrier
2. Know the issues surrounding maternal health and what services are available.
3. Quality of Maternal Healthcare Services Perception
4. Social Support Networks

Expected response

This project will develop interventions to improve health outcomes for pregnant women living in communities with low income. The data generated by the project will be used to develop policies and programmes that improve accessibility and the quality of healthcare. Project will provide healthcare providers with recommendations to help improve support for pregnant women living in low income communities. The ultimate aim of the project is to reduce rates of maternal and fetal deaths in low-income community.
