BIRTHING BEAUTIFUL BABIES

COMMUNITY-BASED INTERVENTION

The Birthing Beautiful Babies project is a seven-week intervention program focused on reducing stress and anxiety experienced in pregnant black women by using culturally sensitive cognitive behavioral techniques.

▪ Worked cooperatively with an interdisciplinary team (graduate students, nurse practitioners, doulas) to improve birth outcomes for underrepresented pregnant women.

▪ Assisted in tracking progress of weekly preventive sessions consisting of cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, self-report measures, and focus group observation.

▪ Managed curriculum materials, evaluations, summary reports, and collection of biomarker measures.
