Access to and interventions to improve maternity care services for immigrant women: a narrative synthesis systematic review (2020)
Journal Article
Higginbottom, G. M., Evans, C., Morgan, M., Bharj, K. K., Eldridge, J., Hussain, B., & Salt, K. (2020). Access to and interventions to improve maternity care services for immigrant women: a narrative synthesis systematic review. Health Services and Delivery Research, 8(14), 1-122. https://doi.org/10.3310/hsdr08140

Limited evidence suggests experiences of immigrant women accessing and using UK maternity services were mixed but largely poor, and there were few rigorously evaluated interventions focused on improving care.

Clinical Scene Segmentation with Tiny Datasets (2019)
