Trial of Community-based Patient Navigation (NCT05588245)
A Pragmatic Trial of Integrating Community-based Patient Navigation Into the Continuum of Maternal Care for Black Women in a Safety-Net Health System: Effects on Maternal Health, Health Care, Morbidity, and Mortality
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study will test the effectiveness of a community-based patient navigator intervention from mid-pregnancy through 12 month postpartum for a high-risk population of medically underserved women. The RCT will enroll 540 pregnant women before 20 weeks of pregnancy and randomly allocate them into two different study arms from the time of prenatal enrollment through 12 months postpartum. If found to be effective, the community-based patient navigator intervention can be implemented as a standard of care at Grady and other provider practices serving high-risk women to improve maternal health outcomes and reduce racial disparities.
