Brief Summary:
The impact of living in a deprived area has far reaching consequences on maternal and infant health Studies in England show women living in deprived areas have some of the poorest experiences of care poor birth outcomes and are 50 more likely to die of pregnancy related complications than women in the least deprived neighbourhoods Life expectancy has also stalled for women living in the most deprived areas and the global COVID-19 pandemic has further amplified existing health inequalities
The Social Determinants of Health SDH are the conditions in which people are born grow work live and age and are mostly responsible for health inequities - the unfair and avoidable differences in health seen within and between populations Evidence shows taking action on the SDH alongside Midwifery Continuity of Care MCC models improves birth outcomes and reduces health inequalities How midwives working in MCC models in areas of high deprivation address the SDH as part of their public health and prevention role is currently not clear There is also a lack of qualitative evidence exploring the SDH from the perspectives of women themselves
Drawing on Constructivist Grounded Theory methods this research will take place in a low-income setting in England Through the use of semi-structured interviews with women and midwives working in an NHS MCC model the study will generate theory to help explain how and indeed whether midwives take action to address the SDH as part of their public health role The study also seeks to understand the SDH impacting upon womens lives and what mechanisms exist to support or obstruct engagement with the SDH Examining these domains will contribute to the evidence base about the impact of MCC and the public health and prevention strategy in NHS maternity services
