Prenatal Psychosocial Risk Assessment using Event History Calendars with Black Women

The prenatal EHC allows the patient and provider to “start on the same page” and provides an additional avenue for discussion of sensitive psychosocial issues with Black pregnant women. As a clinical tool, the prenatal EHC facilitated patient‐provider communication for pregnant women often marked by health disparities. The prenatal EHC is a clinically acceptable tool to assess for psychosocial risk factors of Black women in a prenatal clinical setting.
