Abstract

The Dobbs decision adversely impacts maternal health, with generational impacts on healthcare access and quality. Analyzing existing data, this article examines the overturning of Roe v Wade, specifically exploring the effect on health disparities, particularly for low-income Black women. This article will discuss reproductive health and decision-making through the lens of the Health Belief Model. Utilizing this model, a strength-based, empowerment approach is recommended as an alternative response to restrictive and harmful maternal health policy. Recommendations are provided to help mitigate the detrimental impacts of the Dobbs decision. The implications for social work practice, policy, and research are discussed.

期刊介绍： Social Work in Public Health (recently re-titled from the Journal of Health & Social Policy to better reflect its focus) provides a much-needed forum for social workers and those in health and health-related professions. This crucial journal focuses on all aspects of policy and social and health care considerations in policy-related matters, including its development, formulation, implementation, evaluation, review, and revision. By blending conceptual and practical considerations, Social Work in Public Health enables authors from many disciplines to examine health and social policy issues, concerns, and questions.
