FY 2009-10
Summary
This study sheds light on the effectiveness of a first-stage intervention in the capital regional district of Victoria, BC - the HerWay Home program - aimed at enhancing equitable access to health and social care for substance-using pregnant and early parenting women. This natural experiment is the result of efforts by a diverse groups of local volunteers and social and health care providers who have agreed to work together to help this vulnerable population and adhere to core principles of women-centred care and health equity. The virtual care network has recently launched a wraparound component. They have called upon the research team to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention and gain clients and providers' perspectives on the next steps for the program.
