The Infant Mortality Community Action Network (ICAN) embarked on a comprehensive Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to delve into the experiences of pregnant and postpartum women concerning safe medication use during pregnancy. A survey, interviews, and focus groups aimed to gather valuable information about the medications they are taking during pregnancy, the challenges they face in adhering to prescribed regimens, the specific barriers they encounter, and the influence of familial and social messages on their safe medication usage.
A survey was distributed across Allen County and received over 250 responses. Results were analyzed to identify areas for deeper understanding and became the focus of conversations with 26 women who participated in interviews and focus groups. View full report below.
