Filter by:This study will evaluate women's experiences with pain management and perceived attitudes regarding opioid use for postpartum pain management and examine differences by race/ ethnicity. Women will participate in in-depth qualitative interviews regarding their postpartum pain experience after a cesarean delivery. In this cohort, the investigators will evaluate how experiences of postpartum pain management and perceptions of provider attitudes vary across self-identified race/ethnicity. When applicable, mixed methods integration of patient-reported and clinical data from NNM2 will also allow exploration of patient factors contributing to such variation.
This study is a pilot assessment of Sustaining Women's Engagement and Enabling Transitions after GDM (SWEET), a GDM-focused intervention that will apply barrier-reduction patient navigation strategies to improve health after a pregnancy with gestational diabetes mellitus. The investigators aim to determine, via a randomized controlled trial of 40 women who have had GDM, whether those who receive the navigation intervention have improved diabetes-related health at 1 year after birth compared to those who receive usual care. The SWEET intervention will provide GDM-specific, individualized navigation services that leverage existing clinical infrastructure, including logistical support, psychosocial support, and health education, through 1-year postpartum. Participants will undergo surveys, interviews, and medical record review at multiple time points. The investigators will also conduct qualitative interviews with clinical providers.
The primary aim of this study is to determine whether implementation of a postpartum patient navigation program improves health outcomes among low-income women. Patient navigation is a barrier focused, long-term patient-centered intervention that offers support for a defined set of health services. The intervention under investigation is a comprehensive postpartum patient navigator program. Women who are randomized to receive patient navigation will be compared to women who are randomized to receive usual care. Navigators will support women through one year postpartum. The NNM2 program will be grounded in understanding and addressing social determinants of health in order to promote self-efficacy, enhance access, and sustain long-term engagement. Participants will undergo surveys, interviews, and medical record review at 4-12 weeks and 11-13 months postpartum. The investigators will additionally conduct focus groups and surveys with clinical providers.
