Description
Morgan S White and co-authors report a community-led support program for Black mothers in Wisconsin in this 2026 study. Black women and infants die at far higher rates than white peers in the United States, gaps that standard clinic care has not closed. The team built a program pairing normal obstetric care with monthly support groups led by Black doulas, Black doctors, and community partners.
From 2019 to 2022, twenty-five participants joined sessions on mental health, breastfeeding, birth care, and racism in medicine. Interviews and group talks showed that shared Black identity and culture built trust. Members prized the open, non-judging space, the swap of parenting tips and local resources, and a flexible, child-friendly setup. The authors call for tests of long-term impact and wider use.
