  • Title: Prenatal care through the eyes of Canadian Aboriginal women.
    Author: Di Lallo S.
    Journal: Nurs Womens Health; 2014; 18(1):38-46. PubMed ID: 24548495.
    Abstract:
    The Aboriginal Prenatal Wellness Program (APWP) in Canada represents a culturally safe approach to prenatal care. By understanding the history of colonization and residential schools and how this history has contributed to health disparities, a multidisciplinary team provides culturally competent and integrated prenatal care to Aboriginal women and their families. This article describes the APWP and discusses how increased participation in health care by historically marginalized populations can lead to better maternal and neonatal health outcomes.
