Filter by:The study will apply the principles of Community Based Participatory Research to evaluate implementation strategies, designed to assist in the delivery of an evidence-based lifestyle counseling intervention for pregnant participants. The primary strategies include a technology supported strategy (low touch) in which text messaging and online videos are used for asynchronous viewing compared to a Community Health Worker-led synchronous (group and individual) strategy (high touch). Prior to implementation, one-time interview and focus groups will be conducted with clinic providers and staff. In addition, a subsample of subjects will be enrolled into a prospective cohort to complete a survey during pregnancy and a survey postpartum. The aims of the study are 1) to evaluate and compare adoption of the program delivery with text technology messaging vs. delivery by Community Health Workers (CHW), 2) to examine implementation fidelity , 3) to evaluate and compare the impact of the strategies on key clinical outcomes, 4) to examine sustainability (continued adoption) following the CHW-led strategy implementation period and conduct an economic evaluation of the two-implementation strategies.
The aim of this study is to conduct a comparative effectiveness evaluation using a randomized control trail design among diverse women to compare two postpartum care models: 1) Telehealth Multicomponent Optimal Model (Telehealth MOM) and 2) enhanced standard of care (ESoC). This study will address critical gaps in knowledge about how best to deliver comprehensive postpartum care that ensures timely identification and treatment of complications and meets the needs and preferences of diverse patients, including disproportionately-impacted racial groups and rural residents.
High maternal mortality is a major public health problem in many settings. Because of low antenatal care (ANC) and skilled birth usage, Ugandan women and their children suffer from high maternal and perinatal mortality. The investigators developed a promising intervention (Support-Moms app) that shares targeted health information, and engages social support networks through scheduled reminders to help support pregnant women to utilize maternity services in rural Uganda. The investigators now propose to test and implement the Support-Moms intervention and hypothesize that Support-Moms will be feasible and cost-effective in improving utilization of available maternity care services, and ultimately reduce maternal and perinatal mortality.
This is a randomized placebo-controlled study that aims to investigate the effect of a new maternal dietary supplement (protein hydrolysate/yeast beta-glucan combination) on mother and infant health.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a behavioral intervention in pregnant women who identify as Black and live in Central Brooklyn. The main question it aims to answer is whether the WeCAB intervention leads to a net improvement in utilization of postpartum care compared to those receiving usual care. The WeCAB group will have a dedicated WeCAB community health worker who will be trained in digital care navigation. Researchers will compare the WeCAB group versus the group receiving usual care to see if the patients randomized to WeCAB will have higher rates of early post-partum care compared to patients in the control group.
The goal of this RCT is to evaluate the effectiveness of Joyuus on improving maternal functioning with postpartum moms. The main questions it aims to answer are: - The primary hypothesis is that participants of the Joyuus program will demonstrate improved functional status compared to the control arm participants at 3-month follow-up. - The secondary hypotheses are that participants using the Joyuus tool will demonstrate improvement in depression, anxiety, resilience, social support, and knowledge compared to the control arm at 6- and 12-weeks follow-up.
This study will determine the feasibility and acceptability of the Protective Assets Reinforced with Integrated care and TechnologY (PARITY) program, to test the clinical, behavioral, and strength building efficacy of the PARITY program and explore how it achieves its outcomes in pregnant Black women. PARITY is a program that provides community-based doula support, community resources, and a mobile technology platform that reinforces individual strengths (referred to as protective assets) through positive messaging and by promoting wellness.
Community education and demand generation activities by involving family members, traditional and religious leaders in maternal health behaviours are potential solutions. Knowledge about maternal and neonatal health service utilization can be increased through community-based structures, such as religious organizations.
The purpose of this study is to examine the intervention effectiveness and dissemination of digital health care delivery models for improving selected health outcomes in the Medicaid population.
This project-also known as "Accountability for Care through Undoing Racism & Equity for Moms" or ACURE4Moms-aims to reduce Black-White maternal health disparities using multi-level interventions designed to decrease bias in prenatal care, improve care coordination, and increase social support. ACURE4Moms is a pragmatic 4-arm cluster randomized controlled trial conducted with 40 prenatal practices across North Carolina. Practices will be randomly assigned to receive either: Arm 1 (Standard Care): North Carolina Medicaid Care management for high-risk pregnancies; Arm 2 (Data Accountability and Transparency): North Carolina Medicaid Care Management + Practice-level Data Accountability interventions; Arm 3 (Community-Based Doula Support): North Carolina Medicaid Care Management + Community-Based Doula support intervention for high-risk patients during pregnancy and postpartum; or Arm 4 (Data Accountability and Transparency + Community-Based Doula Support): North Carolina Medicaid Care Management + Both Arms 2 and 3 interventions. During each practice's 2-year intervention period, the practice will initiate prenatal care for ~750 patients (30,000 patients total), whose outcomes the investigators will follow and compare between arms until all these patients have reached 1-year post-delivery.
