Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDPs) are the leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity. This study explored whether micronutrient intake and psychological distress were associated with HDPs. Micronutrients include folate and vitamin B12. Psychological distress refers to perceived stress, prenatal distress, and prenatal depression. HDPs were defined as systolic blood pressure (BP) ≥ 130 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 80 mmHg. Data were collected at ≤ 17 weeks gestation (T1), 25-27 weeks gestation (T2), and 35-37 weeks gestation (T3). T-tests comparing those with and without HDP were performed to explore the associations. Results showed that folate and vitamin B12 were associated with HDPs at T1 and T2 (T1: d = -0.41, d = -0.52; T2: d = -0.43, d = -0.24). Psychological distress was positively associated with HDPs, but associations varied between timepoints and by measure - prenatal distress at all times (T1: d = 0.26; T2: d = 0.54, T3: d = 0.40), perceived stress at T3 (d = 0.34), and prenatal depression at T2 and T3 (T2, d = 0.47; T3: d = 0.68). In summary, micronutrient intake and psychological distress are associated with HDPs but varied by construct and across gestational age.
妊娠期高血压疾病(HDPs)是孕产妇死亡和发病的主要原因。本研究探讨微量营养素摄入和心理困扰是否与HDPs有关。微量营养素包括叶酸和维生素B12。心理困扰是指感知压力、产前困扰和产前抑郁。hdp定义为收缩压(BP)≥130 mmHg或舒张压≥80 mmHg。数据采集于妊娠≤17周(T1)、25-27周(T2)和35-37周(T3)。采用t检验比较HDP患者和非HDP患者的相关性。结果显示,叶酸和维生素B12在T1和T2时与HDPs相关(T1: d = -0.41, d = -0.52; T2: d = -0.43, d = -0.24)。心理困扰与HDPs呈正相关,但相关关系在不同时间点和测量值之间存在差异——任何时候的产前困扰(T1: d = 0.26; T2: d = 0.54, T3: d = 0.40), T3时的感知压力(d = 0.34),以及T2和T3时的产前抑郁(T2, d = 0.47; T3: d = 0.68)。总之,微量营养素摄入和心理困扰与HDPs有关,但因构造和胎龄而异。

People with HIV face a constellation of social and structural barriers, including unstable housing, discrimination, lack of identification documents, immigration issues, and denial of public benefits, that impede access to and retention in care. These health-harming legal needs are rarely addressed systematically in HIV service settings, despite longstanding calls for structural interventions. This study examines the role and impact of a Medical-Legal Partnership (MLP) embedded within The Philadelphia AIDS Consortium, in collaboration with the Legal Clinic for the Disabled. As part of a larger feasibility and acceptability trial, we conducted follow-up interviews with 95 participants who engaged with the on-site attorney. Recruitment was conducted via venue-based outreach, online ads, and peer referral. Participants reported a substantial reduction in legal needs over time, with more than half reporting no health-harming legal needs (HHLNs) by the 3- and 6-month follow-ups. The most common concerns at baseline, transportation, care planning, and food access, declined significantly. Thematic analysis revealed six key domains of impact: (1) empowerment and knowledge-building; (2) trust, respect, and cultural competence; (3) accessibility and integration of legal services; (4) practical legal resolution; (5) emotional relief and therapeutic benefit; and (6) limitations in legal scope or access. Findings underscore the transformative potential of MLPs in HIV care. When embedded in trusted, culturally responsive settings, legal services can help dismantle structural barriers, foster trust, and support both practical legal resolution and improved mental health outcomes.
