An Overview of Black Women’s Perceptions of Prenatal Care Quality and Examining its Relationship to Healthcare Discrimination in the Biosocial Impact on Black Births (BIBB) Study
Rhonda Dailey, M.D., is an Assistant Professor of Research in the Department of Family Medicine and Public Health Sciences (DFMPHS) in the School of Medicine and Scientific Director to the Office of Community Engaged Research (OCEnR), within the Office of the Vice President of Research, at Wayne State University. Formally trained in medicine, Dr. Dailey has over 20 years of experience in behavioral and health-disparities research and expertise in the recruitment and retention of minority populations in clinical settings and the engagement of medical professionals and community stakeholders in research. Her research work includes projects focused on implicit bias awareness and training, community engaged research, perinatal health, health equity and disparities related to systemic racism and chronic disease (particularly cardiovascular disease), patient attitudes and beliefs about health, and healthcare quality. Dr. Dailey will provide an overview of the impact of social determinants of health (economic, neighborhood environment, and healthcare) on perinatal health disparities and will discuss her publication of a validity and reliability analysis of the Quality of Prenatal Care Questionnaire (QPCQ), a 46-item instrument used to measure prenatal care quality perceptions in a cohort of Black women enrolled in the Biosocial Impact on Black Births (BIBB) study. She will also discuss preliminary results of the association of Black women’s personal experiences with everyday healthcare discrimination and the subscales of the QPCQ.
