Article Synopsis
- Adequate prenatal care is crucial for the health of mothers and children, but its utilization is lower in rural areas, particularly highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic when telehealth became more prevalent.
- A study analyzing PRAMS data found that, in 2020, there was a 12% decrease in adequate prenatal visits compared to previous years, with rural respondents facing higher barriers to care access.
- After adjusting for these barriers, the urban-rural differences in prenatal care adequacy during the pandemic were less significant, indicating that addressing these barriers could improve access to care.
