- Description
- Black maternal health disparities remain a pressing public health concern, with Black women experiencing higher rates of adverse birth outcomes, including preterm birth and maternal mortality. Preconception health interventions provide a critical opportunity to address these disparities by promoting early health education, preventive care, and informed decision-making. The SHAPE (Student Health Advocates for Preconception Education) program leverages peer educators as a scalable, community-driven model to enhance reproductive health knowledge and empower individuals of reproductive age.
SHAPE recruits and trains peer educators to engage in discussions about preconception health. The program includes a 12–16-hour training covering topics such as nutrition, mental health, social determinants of health, and health equity. Certified Peer Educator (CPE) training enhances leadership and communication skills to facilitate effective health promotion. Peer educators implement campus-based workshops, outreach activities, and culturally relevant programming tailored to diverse student populations. SHAPE's peer-led model fosters relatable, engaging, and accessible conversations about reproductive and preconception health. By equipping students with foundational health knowledge and practical strategies, the program increases awareness of factors that influence pregnancy and birth outcomes.
The SHAPE program represents a promising model for improving preconception health and addressing Black maternal health disparities through community-driven education. Peer educators serve as trusted messengers, bridging gaps in health knowledge and access, particularly for historically marginalized populations. This approach aligns with North Carolina's Perinatal Health Strategic Plan and national efforts to reduce racial disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes. Expanding peer education initiatives like SHAPE can play a vital role in promoting health equity and empowering future generations.
- Objective(s)
- 1. Participants will be able to define preconception health and understand the benefits of preconception care and be able to identify who is involved in care.
- 2. Participants will be able to identify two or more ways peer education programs like SHAPE contribute to reducing Black maternal health disparities.
- 3. Within six months of the presentation, participants will have shared information about preconception health with at least one peer or community member.

- Description
- Community doulas play a crucial role in addressing the Black maternal health crisis by providing culturally responsive, continuous support that improves birth outcomes and reduces disparities. However, despite their proven impact, doulas overall - and in particular, Black community doulas - remain underfunded, underrecognized, and face systemic barriers to sustainability.
This panel discussion will explore the intersection of advocacy, action, and impact in advancing Black maternal health through the lens of doula support. We will examine the ways doulas empower birthing individuals, bridge gaps in healthcare, and advocate for systemic changes to improve maternal outcomes.
We will also highlight initiatives that are working to integrate doula services into covered healthcare benefits, and broader advocacy efforts that aim to secure sustainable funding, professional support, and policy reforms for doulas nationwide. Through collaboration, education, and policy advocacy, we can push for fair compensation, stronger infrastructure, and an equitable maternal healthcare landscape that centers Black voices and experiences.
Key Discussion Points:
The role of doulas in addressing maternal health disparities and their impact on Black maternal health outcomes.
The importance of integrating doulas into healthcare systems and ensuring their services are recognized and fairly compensated.
Advocacy strategies for sustainable funding, policy reform, and systemic change in maternal health.
The intersection of Medicaid transformation and doula services: how coverage expansion impacts access to care.
The power of partnerships and networks in elevating doula services and advancing maternal health equity.
How to empower doulas to be effective advocates and sustain their work long-term.
- Objective(s)
- 1. Understand the impact of Black doulas on Black maternal health outcomes and their role in supporting birthing people alongside medical professionals.
- 2. Identify strategies for integrating more Black doulas into healthcare and community settings, and ways to support their practice and networks.

- Description
- The US has the highest OB mortality rate of any developed country. The majority of maternal deaths occur in the postpartum period. In NC, the Maternal Mortality Review Committee Report states that for 2018-2019 that 85% of maternal deaths were preventable. Perinatal Nurse Champions are implementing the I GAVE BIRTH bracelet project to decrease maternal mortality in NC by promoting early identification and treatment of post-birth complications. In order to achieve this goal , the POST-BIRTH acronym is being taught to birthing families and professionals who work with these families. The acronym stands for: P= pain in the chest O= obstructed breathing S= seizures T= thoughts of hurting yourself or others B= bleeding I= incision not healing R= red or swollen legs T= low or high Temperature H= headache unrelieved by medication or blurred vision. Understanding the importance of identifying these symptoms and reporting to a healthcare provider could prevent serious complications or death. The Perinatal Nurse Champions are sharing information about this project and the warning signs to healthcare providers, birthing families and the community. The more people who know these signs, the more likely the patient will receive timely treatment.
- Objective(s)
- 1. The participant will be able to state what the POST BIRTH acronym means
- 2. The participant will be able to explain the purpose of the I GAVE BIRTH bracelets.
- 3. The participant will be able to identify a postpartum patient experiencing a complication.

- Preconception counseling (PC) is health education and promotion for women and men of reproductive age comprising of risk assessment, intervention, and medical optimization before the conception of a child to reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes. PC is shown to mitigate cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity and physical inactivity by encouraging healthier behaviors pre-pregnancy. Regrettably, PC is typically offered in clinical settings and lacks culturally tailored components. In order to make PC accessible to Black families who may be low-income, reside in rural areas, and have additional health-related social needs, it is critical that this health service is offered by community-based organizations (CBOs) who operate as "one stop shops," providing an array of primary, preventive and social care services in their communities. Methods: Project IMPACT (IMproving Preconception Actions and Choices for Tomorrow) is a government funded initiative spearheaded by First TEAM America LLC, Morehouse School of Medicine, and The University of Colorado. The aforementioned coalition partners with CBOs in the Southeastern U.S., including GA, NC, and SC to implement a culturally tailored PC program. By using community-based participatory research (CBPR), this project leverages the expertise of CBO staff as well as the lived experience of the communities they serve to upscale the PC initiative. Charlotte and Greensboro sites are partners in this study. Results: Alongside CBOs, a 6-month PC program was developed. Participants of the program have the opportunity to engage 8 PC sessions with CBO staff including individual and group encounters. Follow-up methods involve text messages with logistical reminders as well as tailored health education, in addition to emailed nutrition and physical activity flyers. Academic and community partners come together for training as well as bidirectional feedback to improve the program annually. Conclusions: Insights garnered from this project can be utilized in future implementation research designing scale-able lifestyle change interventions tailored with and by the communities served.
- Objective(s)
- 1. Understand the role of preconception counseling in improving reproductive health outcomes.
- 2. Explore the benefits of community-based approaches in implementing culturally tailored preconception counseling.
- 3. Examine the impact of community-based participatory research in designing and scaling preconception programs.

- Description
- Black maternal health disparities remain a pressing public health issue, with systemic barriers contributing to higher rates of maternal and infant complications. Reproductive Life Planning (RLP) provides a proactive approach to improving birth outcomes by helping birthing people assess their health, goals, and needs before and between pregnancies. By addressing factors such as chronic disease management, access to contraception, mental health, and social determinants of health, RLP empowers individuals to make informed reproductive choices that lead to healthier pregnancies and better maternal and infant health outcomes. This session will explore how birth workers, health advocates, and providers can integrate RLP into their practice to support informed decision-making, body autonomy, and reproductive justice. Using data from Mecklenburg County, we will examine how RLP can help reduce racial disparities in birth outcomes. Participants will also engage in a hands-on walkthrough of a sample reproductive life plan, exploring real-world scenarios that illustrate its impact on patient care and community health. By equipping attendees with actionable tools and strategies, this presentation will demonstrate how RLP serves as a critical intervention for advancing health equity and creating systemic change in Black maternal health.
- Objective(s)
- 1. Explain how Reproductive Life Planning (RLP) improves maternal and infant health outcomes by addressing preconception and interconception care.
- 2. Identify effective strategies for incorporating RLP discussions into healthcare and advocacy work.
- 3. Walk through a sample reproductive life plan to understand its structure, application, and impact on informed decision-making.
