Mental Health, Family, and Work-Life Consequences of Pregnancy Loss: A Qualitative Study of Black Canadian Women
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pregnancy loss is a traumatic event that has far-reaching consequences for affected women and their families. While most studies have focused on the immediate stressors Black women face after a pregnancy loss, little is known about the consequences beyond this period. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of Black Canadian women beyond the immediate period of pregnancy loss. Using an exploratory qualitative design, we purposely recruited and interviewed 32 Black Canadian women with lived experience of pregnancy loss. Guided by thematic analysis approach, we identified three themes: (a) experiencing mental health breakdown, (b) struggling to maintain emotional connection with family, and (c) dealing with the stress of returning to work. The findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the long-term impact of pregnancy loss on Black Canadian women's mental health, family, and work-life. Providing ongoing follow-up care is crucial to identifying and addressing the risk of depression and suicide that Black Canadian women experience after a pregnancy loss.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
