The Honey Child Prenatal Education Program has been designed to provide African-American women with the culturally-appropriate information and support needed to have the healthiest possible pregnancy and birth outcome. The intervention targets African-American women of childbearing age with a specific focus on women ages 18-35. Honey Child uses a spiritual approach to promote prenatal health. The Honey Child curriculum includes six sessions of two hours each. Topics include: Nutrition, Relaxation and Exercise, Prenatal Care, Self-Esteem, Preterm Birth, and Labor & Delivery. Each group consists of 6-12 women who share similar due dates. The women participate in monthly group discussions led by a facilitator. The mentor provides weekly one-on-one social support in addition to reinforcing positive health behaviors discussed in the group.
