The Migration And MAternal Health (MAMAH) Study: Identifying clinical and policy interventions to improve maternity care for underserved migrant women in the UK

PROJECT STATUS: Ongoing
/
START DATE AND DURATION: Nov 2022 – Oct 2025
Summary

The MAMAH Study is funded by the NIHR and is a collaboration between University College London and The University of Oxford. One third of births in England and Wales are to women born outside the UK.

Some underserved migrants, including refugees and asylum-seekers, are at high risk of poor maternity outcomes. In the UK, we lack quantitative data on perinatal outcomes for these women and have poor data on the most effective interventions to improve care.

This project aims to address this by quantifying perinatal outcomes for underserved migrant women in the UK and identifying key interventions to improve care.
