Clinical Trial Summary

This study will develop and test an intervention, called OPTIMIZE, which includes the use of a perinatal checklist by clinic staff and provision of patient navigation support to African American pregnant women. Half of the clinics in the study will be assigned to the OPTIMIZE intervention and half will administer standard care.


Clinical Trial Description

African American women and their infants experience profound perinatal health disparities. The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the OPTIMIZE intervention, which is an integrated and comprehensive perinatal care checklist with patient navigation support, using a Hybrid Type I Cluster Randomized Effectiveness-Implementation Pragmatic Trial among 600 African American women (15-45 years of age and 1st-2nd trimester of pregnancy) recruited from approximately 20 clinics affiliated with two Chicago area community health center networks that are the largest providers of perinatal care for low-income African American women in Chicago. Clinic sites will be randomized 1:1 to standard perinatal care (control arm) or standard perinatal care plus the OPTIMIZE checklist with Patient Navigation support starting from the initial prenatal visit and up through 12-weeks postpartum (intervention arm). The study will test the central hypothesis that African American women in the OPTIMIZE intervention group will have received a greater proportion of recommended perinatal care components (prenatal care content, postpartum care content, and social determinants of health content) consistent with American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists guidelines than African American women in the standard care group. ;
