“…Some psychological researchers argue that agency is shaped by ecological factors and relationships (Gergen, 2009) and should be understood as situated and relational (Riger, 1993; Rutherford, 2018). Feminist research on reproductive agency highlights the ways in which global power dynamics and social class impact how agency is executed (Chadwick, 2017; Uyheng et al, 2020). These conceptions of agency invite psychologists to consider the diverse ways agency is enacted and shaped.…”

Maternal health in the United States is an area of immediate concern. The compounded disadvantages and unique global positions of refugee women highlight the need for research that explores the experiences of refugee women during pregnancy and childbirth. The present study examines how contextual factors shape pregnancy and childbirth experiences for Syrian, Afghan, Congolese, and Karen women living in Clarkston, Georgia, US. Qualitative data were collected via focus groups facilitated by community interpreters. We used a reproductive justice framework to center women's desires, needs, and experiences, and to highlight the importance of structural factors in the findings and analysis of this study. Using codebook thematic analysis, three themes were developed: (1) isolation and alienated knowledge, (2) gendered disparities and structural inequities, and (3) community support and precarity. The findings reflect both the diversity and constancy of women's experiences and highlight how the context of the US impacts women's ability to exercise agency during pregnancy and childbirth. Systemic change is needed to improve women's access to tools that increase their capacity to exercise agency both during pregnancy and childbirth, and beyond.

BACKGROUND: While the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the general population is well studied, less attention has been given to preexisting socioeconomic, lifestyle, and obstetric-gynecologic factors affecting baseline risks for unvaccinated nonpregnant women in early pandemic days in the Philippines. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective multicenter cohort study assessed COVID-19 status and used a validated questionnaire to identify potential disease risks. Generalized linear models with a Poisson distribution were employed to examine the relationship between determinants and COVID-19 status, adjusting for confounding factors. RESULTS: Risk factors include Manila residency, Muslim faith, smoking history, at least one familial comorbidity, and local government hospital admission. Conversely, postgraduate education and contraceptive use seem protective. CONCLUSION: Sociodemographic and lifestyle factors may be linked to COVID-19 infection in unvaccinated nonpregnant women. Further exploration of sociocultural pressures on women during the pandemic is warranted.
