Dara D. Mendez, PhD, MPH | CRSP Pilot Fund Awardee 2019-2020 | "Home Visitation and the Effects of Perceived Racism on Adverse Birth Outcomes in Black Families"
Dr. Dara Daneen Mendez with her team including Dr. Tiffany Gary-Webb, Yuae Park, MA, and Ms. Jada Shirriel, MS, CLC, will examine the association between racism and adverse birth outcomes among Healthy Start participants. The study will help determine whether and how the Healthy Start Program, specifically home visitation, moderates the association between racism and birth outcomes, as well as explore participants' and staff's experiences and understanding of how home visitation may mitigate the effects of racism.
