P3 (Pregnancy and Postpartum/Preconception) EQUATE (Enhancing Access and Quality to Achieve Equitable Maternal and Infant Health) Network
Principal Investigator(s): Jasmine Garland McKinney
Funder: American Heart Association Other Non-Federal
Research Areas: Accessibility and Inclusive Design > Data Science, Analytics, and Visualization > Health Informatics > Information Justice, Human Rights, and Technology Ethics
This project validates the Prepartum Form for Evaluating Race-Related Psychological Stressors (PP-FERRPS)©, a screening tool designed to measure how race-related stressors affect Black perinatal women’s mental health. By refining this tool, the study aims to address gaps in traditional assessments and improve clinical support in maternal care.
