SUMMARY:BE-STEMM Seminar: Charting the Path: Assessing the Impact of Midwifery Services at an Urban Community Health Centre
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our first seminar of 2024. \nJanuary 17\, 4pm ET \nPhylicia Crichlow\nResearch Analyst at Black Health Equity Lab \n  \nBio: \nPhylicia Crichlow earned her Master’s in Social Work with a specialization in Mental Health and Health from the University of Toronto. She is a Social Worker\, Health Equity Advocate\, and Community-Based Researcher. She is a Research Analyst with the Black Health Equity Lab\, housed at the University of Toronto Scarborough\, a social science research lab that works with and for Black communities. Here\, Phylicia is a qualitative researcher that supports projects focused on analyzing the experiences of Black communities within Canadian systems. Phylicia is passionate about using research as an advocacy tool to build racially and culturally attuned programming that provides an intersectional and responsive approach to address the social determinants of health. Her aim is to challenge health inequities\, transgenerational trauma\, anti-Black racism\, and its impacts through her work in research\, mental health counselling\, and community development. \nCharting the Path: Assessing the Impact of Midwifery Services at an Urban Community Health Centre\nDespite the lack of Black maternal health data in Canada\, studies have shown that 8.9 per cent of Black women experience pre-term births\, compared to 5.9 per cent of their White counterparts (McKinnon et al.\, 2016). In collaboration with The Midwives’ Clinic of East York in 2017\, Women’s Health in Women’s Hands Community Health Centre introduced midwifery care to address the healthcare needs of racialized and predominantly uninsured women and trans individuals in the Greater Toronto Area. The Mentored Midwifery Research study is an evaluation of the prenatal\, intrapartum\, and postpartum care of the midwifery services at an urban community health centre\, including a retrospective chart review and a qualitative analysis of client experiences. This research aims to monitor ongoing program success while advancing midwifery services and the development of maternal and reproductive health policies\, ultimately enhancing access and quality of care for equity-seeking groups. \nReferences \nMcKinnon\, B.\, Yang\, S.\, Kramer\, M.
