    Association between perceived ethnic discrimination and receipt of COVID-19 vaccine in pregnancy or postpartum
    (American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2023) Jaeke, Elisha; Anguzu, Ronald; Greenberg, Rachel; Palatnik, Anna
    Pregnant patients receiving prenatal care at a Midwestern academic institution were approached between June 2021 and March 2022 to complete a web-based Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire (PED-Q). The PED-Q is a validated 17-item scale measuring perceived interpersonal racial and ethnic discrimination through four domains: workspace/school domain, exclusion domain, stigma domain, and threat domain, with each domain containing questions rated on a five-point Likert scale ranging from “never” to “very often”. All four domains were summarized in a lifetime discrimination score ranging from 1 to 5. The primary outcome was receipt of COVID-19 vaccination. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to examine the association between “lifetime discrimination score” and COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy or postpartum.

    Prospective survey of discrimination in pregnant persons and correlation with unplanned healthcare utilization
    (American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2023) Greenberg, Rachel; Anguzu, Ronald; Jaeke, Elisha; Palatnik, Anna
    This was a prospective cohort study of pregnant persons receiving care at a single Midwestern academic institution from 2021 to 2022. Primary data was collected from participants on sociodemographic factors and on Perceived Ethnic and Discrimination Questionnaire (PED-Q), a validated 17-item scale measuring perceived lifetime interpersonal racial and ethnic discrimination in four domains: work/school, social exclusion, stigmatization, and threat. The primary outcome was unplanned healthcare utilization, defined as unplanned labor and delivery admissions, triage, Emergency Department, or urgent care visits. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were done to examine the association between lifetime exposure to discrimination and unplanned healthcare utilization.
