Pregnancy Health and Behaviors
Increase the proportion of females delivering a live birth receiving prenatal care beginning in the first trimester from
70.8% to 77.9%. • MICH-10.1 Increase the proportion of pregnant women who
receive prenatal care beginning in first trimester
• MICH-10.2 Increase the proportion of pregnant women who receive early and adequate prenatal care
• Unaware of pregnancy until past 1st trimester• Hiding pregnancy - fear of disclosing pregnancy• Lack of knowledge of importance of prenatal care - belief
prenatal care is unnecessary• Fear of medical procedures• Lack of support - lack of a trusted adult figure• Availability of reproductive health care• Finances/money/insurance• Transportation issues• Clinic hours, long waits• Perceived discrimination - attitude of care providers r/t teen
pregnancy
Barriers to Care
•Peer review studies reiterate early and regular prenatal care is a strategy to improve outcomes
•Pregnant women should be counseled early to identify and educate against high risk behaviors
•Allows for early and ongoing monitoring of maternal health
•Reduces the risk of adverse outcomes for mother and baby
•Early assessment identifies potential complications and allows treatment of underlying health issues
•Caregiver continuity is associated with reduced interventions during labor

● Focuses on both population-level and individual-level determinants of health and interventions
● Considers issues that are community-based and not just individually focused
● Health is determined by influences at multiple levels (e.g., public policy, community, institutional, interpersonal, and intrapersonal factors
● Recognizes that examining the ecological niche - the family, the community, the political and social environments—in which the person lives is essential in helping to understand and prevent health problems

Ecological ModelThe Ecological Model applied to adolescent health is a product of the factors that are
occurring and interacting at individual, interpersonal, community and societal levels (Sword, 1999).
Individual Level ● biological and personal history factors; developmental stage
Interpersonal Level ● relationships with family, friends, and peers
Community Level ● where teens live, attend school, and work
Societal Level • social, economic, political and cultural systems
These relationships are multi-directional meaning each level is influencing the other levels at any given time.
Considering social determinants of health and the influences of where teens live, learn, work, and play will help to better understand the factors and underlying causes of why teens are not initiating early prenatal within the context of each community
(JSI, 2012).

● Ensure all women receive prenatal care in the first trimester
● Ensure pregnant women have referral and navigation support to get their first prenatal appointment right away
● Ensure all women receive an adequate number of prenatal care visits
● Educate community on the availability of prenatal care resources, insurance eligibility, and other support services
● Reduce disparities in the provision of prenatal care.
● Identify funding for a coordinated “early and often” prenatal care message and a social marketing campaign
● Promote planning for pregnancy and recognizing pregnancy early
● Ensure providers screen pregnant women for social determinants of health and provide referrals to appropriate resources and services
Description
Primary Intervention: Onsite Prenatal Care
Students can receive all routine prenatal care one designated Kent County school based health clinic. Students who need
additional services can receive assistance in coordinating and scheduling appointments and transportation.
S4. Strengthen and expand comprehensive school-based health
services, including primary care services where appropriate (i.e. school nurses,
school-based health centers).
S12. Expand the models of prenatal care that are available within Kent County, such
as Midwifery care and Centering
Kent County 2012 Objectives Addressed
Interventions Addressing Prenatal Care Best Practices by Increasing Prenatal Care Access in the First Trimester
Existing school based onsite health clinics will extend existing reproductive health care services to provide an obstetrics care coordination program that will provide comprehensive and culturally sensitive prenatal care,
education, support, and community resource referrals to pregnant students.
Goal S1. Promote planning for pregnancy and recognizing pregnancy early.
Goal S3. Ensure pregnant women have referral and navigation support to get their first prenatal appointment right away.
Goal S5. Educate community on availability of prenatal care resources, insurance eligibility, and other support services.
S8. Ensure pregnant women are screened for social determinants of health and provide referrals to appropriate resources and services.
How It Works - OB Case ManagerUpon diagnosis or confirmation of pregnancy, a clinic nurse staff member
will be assigned as OB Case Manager for that student.
The OB Case Manager will:
● Meet with each student individually once or twice a month throughout the pregnancy to assess needs, coordinate services, and provide one -on-one education on a variety of topics related to pregnancy.
● Provide support and guidance for teens experiencing difficulty communicating with family members about the pregnancy.
● Ensure students questions are asked, answered, and understood.● Connect and refer to appropriate established resources within the
community, including MIHP a WIC, .● Coordinate visits and consults at the school whenever possible. ● Introduce and help transition the student into the existing school Teen
Parenting Program.
Evaluation Participants enrolled in the program will be categorized using the Kotelchuck
Index to assess adequacy of prenatal care.
This index incorporates how early women enter prenatal care and the number of prenatal care visits they receive. The index categorizes adequacy of prenatal
care as follows:
• Adequate Plus Prenatal Care - Prenatal care begun by the 4th month and 110% or more of recommended prenatal visits were received
• Adequate Prenatal Care - Prenatal care begun by the 4th month and 80% to 109% of recommended prenatal visits were received
• Intermediate Prenatal Care - Prenatal care begun by the 4th month and 50% to 79% of recommended prenatal visits were received
• Inadequate Prenatal Care - Prenatal care begun after the 4th month or less than 50% of recommended prenatal visits were received
Eval (CONT)OB Case Managers will provide a synopsis on utilization of program
resources from their cases. This report will include assessment of currently identified social determinants, barriers, and coordination of care efforts,
challenges and successes.
Frequency of evaluation.Data will be obtained/compiled from the School-Based Health Clinics
during the school year at the following points:
● at students entrance the program● monthly during the pregnancy through OB Case Manage synopsis
reports● at the time of delivery
