Motivators and Barriers to Use of Prenatal Care Services in Rural Honduras
Faculty Sponsor: Susan Allen
As a Royce Fellow, Jennifer explored the reasons why rural Honduran women with similar educational and socioeconomic backgrounds demonstrate disparate usage rates of prenatal care. The goal of her research was to guide Red Cross health interventions to increase prenatal care and improve maternal and child health.
After graduating from Brown, Jennifer completed her Masters of Public Health in Epidemiology and subsequently trained as Family Nurse Practitioner at UCSF. She now provides primary care for uninsured Spanish-speaking families in a community health center in Oakland, California.
