Article Synopsis
- Rates of congenital syphilis (CS) have significantly increased in the U.S., with limited research on the experiences of affected birthing parents and prenatal providers in Chicago and the Midwest.
- Semistructured interviews and retrospective data were collected from birthing parents of infants with CS and their prenatal providers to understand factors contributing to the rise in cases.
- Identified barriers included inadequate access to treatment, poor communication, lack of patient knowledge, and stigma, highlighting the complex challenges in the syphilis care continuum.
