Iowa Title V Community-Based Doula Project for African American Families
IHHS used a health equity lens and collaborated with African American/Black-identified community members and local maternal health experts to develop a culturally congruent, community-based doula program within the state’s Title V service delivery structure. As a result of this collaboration, IHHS conducts a pilot project in selected communities to determine and develop a strategy for culturally congruent, community-based doula services for Title V agencies throughout the state.
