What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated care model designed for high-risk Black and Hispanic/Latina birthing individuals to reduce severe maternal morbidity (SMM). Participants will be randomized into two groups: one receiving high-touch care with extensive monitoring and support, and the other receiving low-touch care with basic monitoring. The study will assess various outcomes, including the incidence of SMM during labor and delivery, hospitalizations related to SMM, and the effectiveness of interventions in improving social support and physical activity. Mixed methods will also be employed to identify barriers and facilitators to implementation.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are Black or Hispanic/Latina individuals who are pregnant and less than 17 weeks gestational age with a high-risk OB-CMI score.
Not a fit: Patients who cannot provide informed consent due to cognitive or psychiatric impairments will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce the incidence of severe maternal morbidity among high-risk populations.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using integrated care models for maternal health, but this specific approach is novel.
