Prior Research: Gaps between Providers and Somali Women: Our team conducted a mixed-methods study in Maricopa County, Arizona (July 2011-May 2012) exploring knowledge, perceptions and experiences in the context of FGC among Somali women (n=73) and obstetrics/gynecology healthcare providers (n=74). Findings suggested a substantial lack of agreement between Somali women and health care providers on prenatal care, labor, and delivery in the context of FGC. Although providers often failed to recognize FGC-related health concerns and management around childbirth and agreed they lacked formal training on FGC- related care, they linked all types of FGC to adverse birth outcomes. Stigmatization, alienation, distrust, lack of cultural knowledge and clinical skills, and fear of surgical interventions led Somali women to delay prenatal care and arrangements for labor and delivery while they categorically rejected the imposed construct of "FGC-victimization." History of Community Engagement/Partnership: An established infrastructure of community partnership, engagement, and shared community leadership exists through the Refugee Women's Health Community Advisory Coalition (RWHCAC). The RWHCAC is an interdisciplinary team of more than 60 stakeholders from various community organizations representing local ethnic organizations, refugee resettlement and volunteer agencies, mental health and social services agencies, and academic partners. Through RWHCAC, we have partnered with the Somali community on numerous collaborative initiatives to build community capacity on Somali reproductive health issues of importance Goal and Anticipated Outcome To address health disparities for Somali women, the goal of this initiative will be to elucidate gaps in care and enhance the provision of FGC-related health care and social services for women in Arizona who have experienced FGC. Outcome 1: Identify specific FGC-related health care needs and available health and social services for FGC-affected women in Arizona. Outcome 2: Identify gaps, barriers, and/or assets in FGC-related health care and social services for women in Arizona. The Somali community has expressed their desire for greater engagement of all community stakeholders in providing community-wide education enhancing community awareness on available health services/resources, interpreting FGC-related legislation, and educating health care providers. Outcome 3: Create and implement FGC education efforts to improve culturally competent care in healthcare and social service settings for FGC-affected women. Outcome 4: Implement comprehensive community outreach and education about FGC- related health issues, prevention, and services available.
