Populations (graded) Review the Week 3 Case Study that is found in Doc Sharing.
This case study focuses on a vulnerable young woman who is facing many risk
factors. Discuss several risk factors that may impact health outcomes for

Mary during her pregnancy. Start by searching the internet for your local
health department’s website. What services do they provide for pregnant women,
those living in poverty, or those with mental health concerns? What about your
local welfare office? Do they provide prenatal or mental health services? Are
there any service organizations, crisis pregnancy centers, or churches
providing help for pregnant women or those experiencing mental health concerns?
