TUCSON, Ariz. — As minority health awareness month wraps up, KGUN 9 is looking at some of the issues affecting women of color during pregnancy and the options for those who need it.
Dr. Kalia Treats women of color who are dealing with mental health issues throughout pregnancy and beyond. “When you layer on being a minority that becomes a leveled-up challenge. You already have to deal with stigmas, biases and barriers with care. So, reporting something on top of that becomes a challenge,” Dr. Kalia said.
“If you’re comfortable with your OB go talk to your OB or primary care physician. Have them assess you they can do screenings and tell you if you meet criteria,” Dr. Kalia said.
