Clinical Trial Summary

This study will develop and test an intervention, called the Well-Mama intervention, which includes the use of a checklist by Community Doula Navigators to support pregnant women. Participants will be randomized to either receive standard perinatal care or standard perinatal care plus the Well-Mama intervention.


Description:

Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) women experience profound maternal health disparities in the US, including rising rates of maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity. This study will develop a Well-Mama intervention for pregnant and postpartum BIPOC women, centered around Community Doula Navigators conducting in-person and telehealth check-ins on 5 priority areas (mental health, cardiovascular symptoms, safety, opioid/substance abuse, and social support), supplemented with virtual support groups and labor support. The investigators will conduct a randomized trial to test whether the Well-Mama intervention increases BIPOC women's receipt of prenatal and postpartum care.
