Little is known about the role of national public health, medical, and carceral organizations in promoting the health and well-being of pregnant and postpartum people who are incarcerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The objectives of this study were to assess publicly available COVID-19 communications and guidance from national organizations to better understand guidance for pregnant and postpartum people who were incarcerated during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study used documentary qualitative analysis to review publicly available COVID-19 guidance and communications from public health agencies and professional organizations.
