Recent federal policy changes in the United States increase health risks for Haitian immigrants in the United States. Group prenatal care improves outcomes among vulnerable groups. Perinatal health professionals at a Boston health center adapted the CenteringPregnancy\n                      <jats:sup>\u00a9<\/jats:sup>\n                      model to meet the perinatal needs of Haitian immigrants.

Interviews aimed to better understand adverse social determinants of health, the importance of mental health, and the challenges patients face navigating the paradigms of the Haitian and American health care systems.
