Upon completion of the course students understand the social determinants of health and their impact on the health of women, families, and newborns. They are able to identify the factors that affect access to care during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, including culture, education, social status, and family background. They can recognize and reflect on social and ethical dilemmas related to the care of vulnerable groups of women (e.g., women with low income, migrants, underage mothers). They are able to communicate with respect for cultural and social specifics and to approach each woman individually, considering her values, needs, and social context.
