Abstract

Abstract:

This study aimed to explore the perspectives of participants enrolled in a clinic-based diaper distribution program (Diapers at the Doctor) and to assess the impact of the program on their overall well-being and socioeconomic needs. The methods of this study consisted of in person interviews conducted in both English and Spanish. There were a total of 27 participants. The interview transcripts were coded and a thematic analysis was created by the research team. The findings indicate that programs such as Diapers at the Doctor (DATD) can serve as a crucial intervention to address broader socioeconomic needs, reducing the burden on families and improving overall quality of life. The results emphasize the success of this program and other similar interventions as well as the need for policy change and further research.
