This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) will provide $148,000 to the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth to explore the multilevel determinants of implementation of prenatal syphilis screening policies into clinical practice among obstetric providers.

The key objectives are to: 1) Assess the multilevel determinants, barriers, and facilitators to implementation of syphilis screening policies in Texas, which has the highest congenital syphilis rates in the country; and 2) Develop a multilevel prenatal syphilis screening policy implementation strategy using a planning board of obstetric providers, administrators, and patients. This research project aims to enhance understanding of contextual and systems-level factors influencing provider behaviors and hospital decision-making related to syphilis screening policies, in order to ultimately increase rates of prenatal syphilis screening and reduce congenital syphilis.
