Education Needs. In the literature examining adverse birth outcomes for African American women, many authors are focused on providing recommendations for future research activities as well as identifying potential areas of policy development and advocacy efforts. However, other recommendations highlight the need for more education to be developed and geared toward the affected women and healthcare providers from various professions as well, first focusing on health disparities. For example, when considering the role of racism as a social determinant and its effect on birth outcomes, Xxxxxxxxx (2011) notes that “there is a considerable lack of knowledge about racial health disparities among physicians and the general public” (p. 11). In this instance, she suggests that: Social workers in health care and community settings can coordinate health disparities presentations during staff meetings, lunch breaks, and grand rounds by partnering with hospital and clinic administrators, local public health officials, researchers, and grassroots organizations to ensure the information presented is current, accurate, pertinent to the setting, and highlights local efforts to address the problem. Town hall meetings may also be effective in bringing together the lay public and community and political leaders to learn about and discuss the relevant issues. A key aim of these educational efforts should be to frame racial health disparities as a problem for all Americans, not just the minority population who suffer from them, by highlighting the implications for society at large. (p. 11) Along with education needs, the ability to open dialogue is also imperative as it can also identify gaps in knowledge. Documentaries such as Unnatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick, specifically episode 2 entitled When the Bough Breaks, encourages discussion on pregnancy outcomes with comprehension and discussion questions that focus on the role of racism, chronic stress, and health disparities over the life course. Additional suggested activities include defining three types of racism and the possible health effects associated with each, brainstorming about potential policies or actions that would assist in addressing the effects, and developing steps that would be required to make them effective (Strain, MacLowery, & Xxxxxx, 2008). Ethical dilemmas arise when public health interventions address sensitive topics such as adverse birth outcomes and reproductive health in general. The most notable dilemm...
