Women of color often experience poor quality or unsafe maternal care. This qualitative study included non-Hispanic Black birthing people on Medicaid who experienced preterm birth. Thematic analyses identified three priority areas to improve patient experience and safety during preterm birth – improved communication about intrapartum procedures, mitigated psychological consequences through opportunities to share birth experiences and improved communication about future pregnancy risks (or lack thereof).
