Article Synopsis
- Publicly funded programs like the New Orleans Healthy Start are crucial for supporting vulnerable groups, particularly pregnant women with limited resources during disaster recovery.
- The study compared 402 prenatal women, with some accessing the Healthy Start program and others relying solely on traditional prenatal care during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina from 2010-2012.
- Results showed that Healthy Start participants were more at-risk socially and experienced higher rates of depression and PTSD, highlighting the need for targeted support and community programs in disaster recovery plans.
