Young and Aboriginal: Labour & Birth Experiences of Teen Mothers in Winnipeg
Prairie Women's Health Centre of Excellence is pleased to announce the publication of "Young and Aboriginal: Labour and Birth Experiences of Teen Mothers in Winnipeg".
Click here to read the full report.
The exploratory project involved talking with nineteen young Aboriginal mothers in Winnipeg with the following goals:
• To draw attention to the labour and birth experiences of young Aboriginal mothers in Winnipeg;
• To discuss young Aboriginal mothers’ perceptions of treatment, services and supports received from medical professionals in hospital settings during labour and birth; and
• To outline young Aboriginal mothers’ labour and birthing needs and their suggestions for positive birthing experiences and outcomes.
Findings in the report echo that of other Aboriginal teen advocates who are calling for more research specifically focused on this population group and the need for an increased awareness regarding their maternal health needs.
