“…For example, Robertson and colleagues 14 demonstrated the benefits of group prenatal visits in previous work with Latinas. Given the importance of culturally and linguistically sensitive care, 24 government interest in reducing health disparities, 25 and previous work suggesting that minority populations with limited English proficiency and different cultural beliefs benefit from programs tailored to their needs for optimal pregnancy care, 26 -28 expanding group prenatal visits is needed.…”

“…10 This model has been adapted successfully for use with African American teenagers, women in the military, and Latinas. [11][12][13][14] Barr et al 15 published the only known empirical article on group prenatal care by family physicians; they reported that women who attended group visits experienced fewer cesarean deliveries and less preterm labor compared with women receiving traditional prenatal care.…”

Introduction:The declining number of family physicians providing pregnancy care is of concern because they are an important source of pregnancy care in underserved communities. Innovative approaches might reinforce family physician participation in pregnancy care for the underserved. Since group prenatal visits have been shown to improve patient education, support, and satisfaction, we implemented and evaluated a group prenatal visit program for Japanese women in Michigan, an underserved population because of their limited proficiency with English.Methods: We conducted a convergent quantitative and qualitative mixed methods evaluation involving repeated survey administration (program evaluations, 4-item Patient Health Questionnaire, pregnancy distress questionnaire) to participants during 5 group visits and in-depth postpartum interviews in the University of Michigan Japanese Family Health Program setting. We conducted independent quantitative and qualitative analytics and then thematically integrated these data.Results: Cultural adaptations to the Centering Pregnancy format involved changes in total visits, educational content, and participation format. Based on 5 groups attending 5 sessions each, 42 women evaluated the program through 158 surveys after the sessions. Participants evaluated multiple parameters positively: being with other pregnant women (98%), improving their understanding about prenatal care (96%), preparation for labor and delivery (96%), organization of visits (94%), and preparation for newborn care (85%). In final evaluations, 96% to 100% of participants rated 7 educational topics as "covered" or "covered well." Qualitative interviews with 20 women revealed positive views of social support from prenatal group visits and group facilitation but mixed enthusiasm for clinical assessments in the prenatal group visit setting and partner and children attendance at the sessions.Conclusions: This research demonstrates the feasibility and cultural acceptability of prenatal group visits for Japanese women. Prenatal group visits provided education and social support for Japanese women during the perinatal and postpartum periods that were not otherwise accessible in Japanese. This study confirms the feasibility of family physicians providing prenatal group visits and extends the literature of the applicability of prenatal group visits for patients with limited English skills. Family physicians train to provide the full breadth of care for common problems across the life span and are particularly recognized as apropos in isolated rural communities and underserved populations. As with family physicians providing care for a geographically isolated population, a bilingual family physician can also be particularly effective for linguistically and culturally isolated groups regardless of rural or urban setting.Family physicians have long been considered an important source of maternity care, particularly in rural and underserved settings.

“…The gFNP curriculum is based on FNP materials, adapted for delivery in a group, and the FNs provide routine midwifery care in pregnancy and routine infant health checks. Reflecting 'Centering Pregnancy' (Robertson et al, 2009) mothers are encouraged to conduct some of the necessary pregnancy and child development checks themselves. Based on pilot work and to distinguish recipients of gFNP from those eligible for FNP, eligibility for gFNP and for the trial was: expectant mothers aged <20 with one or more previous live births or aged 20-24 with low/no educational qualifications and no previous live births.…”

“…The CenteringPregnancy model has also been found to improve women's use of family planning services (Hale et al, 2014), increase breast feeding rates (Grady and Bloom, 2004;Ickovics et al, 2007;Klima et al, 2009;TannerSmith, Steinka-Fry, and Lipsey, 2013), and reduce biological, behavioral, and psychosocial risks for HIV when HIV self-management was integrated into the model (Kershaw et al, 2009). One qualitative study of African-American and Hispanic women who were on Medicaid or uninsured found that the women were enthusiastic about a group approach to antenatal care (Novick et al, 2011); other studies have documented high levels of patient satisfaction with the CenteringPregnancy model compared with the traditional individual model of antenatal care (Grady and Bloom, 2004;Ickovics et al, 2007;Klima et al, 2009;Robertson, Aycock, and Darnell, 2009), and one study from the Netherlands documented an increase in interpersonal trusting relationships for women in the program leading to increased self-confidence (Kweekel et al, 2016).…”
