(P-A34) Community-engaged Approaches to Addressing Maternal Stress and Perinatal Health through Partnerships: Learnings from a partnership project in Florida

A community integration model that cultivates collaboration of healthcare and community partners to address health-related disparities at the community level. The National Institute for Children’s Health Quality (NICHQ) partners with a health care partner and the Northeast Florida Healthy Start Coalition’s Magnolia Project (MP), a federal Healthy Start Initiative, to implement an intervention addressing maternal stress in Jacksonville. NICHQ will share community-engaged evaluation findings used to inform MP’s intervention. MP will share reflections on intervention implementation and lessons learned. Implications for policy, perinatal health, and addressing racial/ethnic disparities through community-based partnerships will be discussed.
