The UCSF California Preterm Birth Initiative (PTBi-CA) is a multi-year, transdisciplinary research effort to reduce the burden of prematurity among those at highest risk for preterm birth - women of color and lower-income women. Recognizing the role of "place" as a strong determinant of health and wellbeing - including the risk of preterm birth - PTBi-CA takes a place-based approach focusing our work on affected communities in San Francisco, Oakland, and Fresno. We bring together academic researchers from different disciplines, healthcare providers, public health departments, community-based organizations, and other stakeholders to work in partnership with affected communities. Most importantly, we partner with women with lived experience during all phases of the research, including developing and prioritizing the research agenda, enhancing study designs to ensure cultural appropriateness and maximum impact, and ensuring dissemination of results to a broad audience of stakeholders. PTBi-CA is generously funded by Marc and Lynne Benioff.
