This webinar examines the Los Angeles Maternity Assessment Management Access and Service (MAMA) program, an innovative multi-sector initiative seeking to address social factors that contribute to adverse maternal and infant outcomes, including housing instability, food insecurity, untreated mental health conditions, domestic violence, and substance abuse.

A research team led by Los Angeles County review the effectiveness of the program’s four major components:

• a health home care management model,
• peer and community support,
• flexible funding for non-medical services, and
• (4) an advanced health information technology platform.
