  • Session Abstract Abstract
    Session Innovations in Maternity Services Poster Session APHA 2017 Annual Meeting & Expo (Nov. 4 - Nov. 8) Abstract Prenatal Care Health Behaviors among Pregnant Women Na'Tasha Evans, Ph.D., M.Ed1, Kimberly McBride, PhD, MA2, Jiunn-Jye Sheu, PhD, MSPH, MCHES2 and Shipra Singh, MBBS, MPH, PhD2 (1)Kent State University, Kent, OH, (2)University of Toledo, Toledo, OH APHA 2017 Annual Meeting & Expo (Nov. 4 - Nov. 8) BACKGROUND: Access to prenatal care is an important determinant of successful pregnancy outcomes. A barrier to prenatal care may be poor provider communication. Unfortunately, there is very limited research focusing on patient provider communication and prenatal care. This research study aims to bridge the gap by using qualitative methodology to gain a better understanding of pregnant women’s experiences regarding a range of communication practices and interactions with their prenatal care provider. METHODS: Face-to- face interviews were conducted among pregnant women (18-45 years) in their second or third trimester (n=30) who were receiving prenatal care from various community clinics and health care systems in Lucas County, Ohio. The resulting qualitative data were systematically coded and analyzed to identify themes related to prenatal care and a range of communication practices and interactions. RESULTS: The overarching theme was satisfaction, which was influenced by the overall quality of the encounter and health care system influences. Within the overall quality of the encounter, factors that influence decision-making and communication practices were influential in determining patient’s satisfaction with their prenatal health care provider. In regards to health care system influences, continuity of care, referral for resources, information obtained from another source, and other employee encounters influenced satisfaction with prenatal care.

Large expert-curated database for benchmarking document similarity detection in biomedical literature search.

This is largely due to the lack of a large offline gold-standard benchmark of relevant documents that cover a variety of research fields such that newly developed literature search techniques can be compared, improved and translated into practice. To overcome this bottleneck, we have established the RElevant LIterature SearcH consortium consisting of more than 1500 scientists from 84 countries, who have collectively annotated the relevance of over 180 000 PubMed-listed articles with regard to their respective seed (input) article/s. The majority of annotations were contributed by highly experienced, original authors of the seed articles. The collected data cover 76% of all unique PubMed Medical Subject Headings descriptors.
