"Well Mama" Maternal Health Limited Series | ACEs & PTSD in pregnancy with Dr. Ashish Premkumar
In this limited series of episodes, we have conversations with a variety of experts and community leaders in the field of maternal and child health to discuss how to advance maternal health equity.
In this episode we spoke with Dr. Ashish Premkumar, a maternal-fetal medicine clinician/researcher at the John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County in Chicago, IL. Topics include Adverse Childhood Events (ACEs) and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) as it relates to pregnancy and birth outcomes.
Dr. Premkumar has a particular interest in merging social scientific theory with clinical education, practice, and research. He has pursued research focused on anthropological questions of risk, stigma, and inequity surrounding pregnancy, particularly among pregnant people with illicit substance use disorders. He also has performed work on racial and ethnic inequities in perinatal health outcomes, as well as the effects of sociopolitical and economic marginalization on adverse health outcomes during the peripartum period.
