Constrained Spaces of Prenatal Care: South Asian Immigrant Women in New York City

The aim of this research is to examine use of prenatal care by South Asian immigrant women in New York City, focusing not only on barriers to care but also women's reliance on multi-scalar, place-based social networks and resources. Recently, public health analysts have raised concern about low utilization of prenatal care by South Asian women who are much less likely than US-born women to receive early and adequate prenatal care.
