Johnson II, Briana Woods-Jaeger, Abigail Powers, Vasiliki Michopoulos
ABSTRACT Black individuals are at particularly high risk for birth-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, in part due to a lack of opportunity to lead maternity care decisions. Maternal care providers need evidence-based ways to reduce pregnant persons’ risk for birth-related PTSD symptoms despite reduced autonomy in decision making resulting from heightened restrictions on reproductive
