E4P: Enhanced Perinatal Programs for People in Prison
Enhanced Perinatal Programs for People in Prison is analyzing pregnancy and postpartum support programs being offered to incarcerated individuals in six states. The goal of the project is to share valuable, practical, and applicable information that promotes maternal health in prison.
Project Aims

Identify facilitators and barriers to implementation of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum support programs for pregnant people who are in prison.
Pregnancy and Birth Outcomes
Evaluate the pregnancy and birth outcomes of program participants.
Postpartum Outcomes
Evaluate the postpartum outcomes of program participants.
Data for this project will be drawn from experiences and outcomes of prisons located in states below (see map).
Results from this study will provide critical information that can be used to improve the health outcomes of incarcerated people and their children.
E4P COVID-19 Supplement:
COVID-19 Impacts on Health Services and Social Support for Pregnant and Postpartum People in Prison
The overall goal of this Supplement is to assess the impact of COVID-19 on health services and social support for pregnant and postpartum people in prison and the implications of these impacts on their health and well-being. Our long-term goal is to utilize this information to develop timely, evidence-based strategies to ensure pregnant and postpartum people in prison have access to high-quality health services and comprehensive social support – particularly amidst times of crisis – to reduce health disparities among this population.
