The Pregnancy Village (PV) was created to deliver cross-sector services at a convenient time and location for Black pregnant and postpartum people. This study examines the accessibility and acceptability of PV among pregnant individuals and their families. We surveyed 116 participants (57 pregnant/postpartum individuals and 59 family members) and conducted 18 semi-structured interviews between July 2021 and June 2022. Accessibility was measured using a 3-item scale and acceptability with a 7-item scale based on the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability; scores were standardized to a 0-100 range. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were conducted, along with framework analysis of qualitative data. Mean accessibility was 76.0 (SD=21.0), with mixed qualitative perspectives. Acceptability was high (M=91.9, SD=14.4), though lower among participants reporting prenatal care discrimination. Qualitative findings supported high acceptability, highlighting PVs welcoming, supportive atmosphere. Findings suggest PV is accessible and acceptable, with continued model iteration critical for ensuring community priorities and sustainability.
