A scoping review of costing methodologies used to assess interventions for underserved pregnant people and new parents.

Background: Lack of evidence about the long-term economic benefits of interventions targeting underserved perinatal populations can hamper decision making regarding funding. To optimize the quality of future research, we examined what methods and costs have been used to assess the value of interventions targeting pregnant people and/or new parents who have poor access to healthcare.

Methods: We conducted a scoping review using methods described by Arksey and O'Malley.
