Abstract

Background: Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) face complex and unique healthcare barriers, which are especially significant in the context of prenatal and postpartum care. Unfortunately, there are few educational resources that are tailored for BIPOC pregnant and birthing persons. Podcasting is a nontraditional media format that has emerged as an effective communication tool to reach BIPOC patients and has the potential to enhance patient engagement on healthcare topics. Our team utilized podcasts in the form of a Maternal Health-focused limited series as an innovative form of media to detail inequities within the current healthcare system that affect BIPOC pregnant and birthing individuals and to also provide information about resource referrals, advocacy, and methods for birthing individuals to confront these inequities and to assist healthcare providers better address these disparities in their clinical practices.
