What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the feasibility and acceptability of the Holistic Care Partner Program (HCP) designed for Black birthing individuals. The program, developed by Black women-led perinatal nurses at NYU Langone Health, aims to address the challenges posed by obstetric racism and improve maternal health outcomes. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study will gather data through surveys and qualitative interviews with participants to identify areas for improvement and gather insights on their experiences. Additionally, exploratory analyses will assess maternal and infant outcomes using a propensity score matching technique.
