In this ADAA conference presentation, Dr. Abigail Powers Lott explored the importance of PTSD screening during pregnancy and examined emerging approaches to identifying and supporting pregnant Black women who may be experiencing trauma-related symptoms.
Pregnant individuals who have experienced trauma are at increased risk for PTSD, depression, anxiety, and adverse maternal health outcomes, making early identification and intervention critical for improving maternal and infant well-being.
Drawing from Project I-HOPE (Improving Health Outcomes through PTSD Screening for Expectant Black Mothers), Dr. Powers Lott discussed findings from an ongoing comparative effectiveness study evaluating different PTSD screening methods, including peer-led approaches designed to improve engagement and access to care. The session highlighted the prevalence of trauma exposure, PTSD, depression, and social needs among participants, while examining opportunities to improve maternal mental health outcomes through early identification and intervention.
