Specific Barriers

Previous research demonstrates that exposure to incarceration during pregnancy – either personally or vicariously through a partner – worsens parental care. However, little is known about the specific barriers to parental care that are associated with incarceration exposure. Using data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (years 2009–2016), the current study examines the relationship between exposure to incarceration during pregnancy and barriers to prenatal care in the United States. Negative binomial and logistic regression models were used to assess the association between the recent incarceration of a woman or her partner (i.e., incarceration that occurred in the 12 months prior to the focal birth) and several barriers to prenatal care. Findings indicate that exposure to incarceration, either personally or vicariously through a partner, increases the overall number of barriers to prenatal care and this association operates through several specific barriers including a lack of transportation to doctor’s appointments, having difficulty finding someone to take care of her children, being too busy, keeping pregnancy a secret, and a woman not knowing she was pregnant. Policies designed to help incarceration exposed women overcome these barriers can potentially yield benefits for enhancing access to parental care.

Prenatal HIV screening is critical to eliminate mother-to-child (MTC) HIV transmission. Although Massachusetts (MA) has near-zero MTC transmission rates, recent trends in statewide prenatal HIV testing are unknown. This study examined variations in prenatal HIV screening across race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and prenatal care settings in MA, in the period following national and state-level changes in guidance encouraging routine prenatal HIV testing. According to the MA Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) data, 68.3% of pregnant women in MA were screened for HIV between 2007 and 2016. There were significant differences in prenatal screening rates across race/ethnicity, with 83.38% of Black non-Hispanic (NH), 85.5% of Hispanic women, and 62.4% of White NH women reporting being tested for HIV at some point during their pregnancy ( P <.0001). Multivariate regression found that differences in screening were explained by race/ethnicity, Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) status, prenatal care site, type of insurance, nativity, and marital status. Annual rates of prenatal HIV screening did not change significantly in MA from 2007 to 2016 ( P  =  .27). The results of the analysis revealed that prenatal HIV screening rates differ based on race/ethnicity, with higher rates in Black NH and Hispanic women when compared to White NH women. The racial disparities in prenatal HIV screening and lack of universal screening in MA raises questions about the effectiveness of the state's approach.
