This document outlines various risk factors and vulnerable groups that can lead to negative pregnancy outcomes. It identifies psychological, social, and physical risk factors that may be present before or during pregnancy, as well as during labor and birth. Some key risk factors include a history of substance abuse, partner abuse, mental illness or poor coping mechanisms, low socioeconomic status, medical conditions, malnutrition, pregnancy complications, lack of social support, and exposure to environmental toxins or teratogens. Students will be divided into groups to research and prepare a 2-page synthesis on how selected risk factors can negatively impact maternal and infant health outcomes.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Divide clinical group into 4 subgroups
2. Each subgroup will choose one factor that is considered to contribute to high risk pregnancy and come up with evidence base synthesis of journals (2-3 journals) discussing how this factor can produce negative outcomes for the mother ,and fetus or child. 3. Group 1 ( Subgrp. 1 – alcohol dependence, Subgrp 2- partner abuse/domestic violence, subgrp. 3 maternal depression, subgrp.4- cigarette smoking) Group 2 ( subgrp 1- maternal malnutrition, subgrp. 2- poverty, subgrp 3-poor access to transportation, subgrp 4- poor housing) Group 3 (subgrp.1- physical disabilities, subgrp 2- maternal hypertension, subgrp 3- maternal heart disease, Subgrp 4- cepahalic –pelvic disproportion) Group 4 (subgrp.1 taking over the counter drugs, subgrp. 2 exposure to environmental toxic waste, subgrp. 3 multiple gestation, subgrp 4 birth of an infant with defects unexpected by parents 4. The synthesis should not be more than 2 pages, single space, arial font 11 and submit synthesis with journals on Monday. 5. Indicate members of the group and come up with peer evaluation.
