Abstract: The research that will be conducted in congruence with the University of North Carolina at Pembroke’s Nursing Department and aims to deliver a targeted health program to improve perceptions of health and health promotion activities among the at risk pregnant population. While it is well known that the elderly, minority populations, and those with preexisting conditions, such as asthma, are among the high-risk populations, expectant mothers are another group that is considered at risk (CDC 2020). Additionally, in Robeson country data has shown that there has been a growing number of COVID-19 cases. Through surveillance of this population formulation and implementation of the education program these mothers will have a greater awareness about the positive outcomes of health promoting behaviors and will thus increase their intention to adopt these behaviors. These behaviors will not only better protect the health of pregnant mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic but also improve overall health of expectant mothers.
