dc.descriptionThis report analyzes maternal and neonatal health outcomes in Orange County, Indiana, focusing on the influence of substance use, late entry into prenatal care, and Amish group membership. Using obstetrics data from Paoli Hospital, the study examines correlations between drug use, smoking, and timing of care with birth complications and maternal health issues. Findings indicate that late entry into care and positive drug screenings are associated with increased neonatal problems, while Amish women were more likely to experience placental abnormalities. The report highlights the need for culturally sensitive interventions and improved access to early prenatal care in rural communities. This report reflects original student research and recommendations from Indiana University Liberal Arts Management students in collaboration with Southern Indiana Community Health Care as part of the 2018–19 Sustaining Hoosier Communities initiative. The views expressed are those of the students and do not represent Indiana University, the Center for Rural Engagement, or Southern Indiana Community Health Care.
