This study, called the MOMs Chat and Care Study, is testing two different approaches to care for pregnant Black and Hispanic/Latina individuals to reduce the risk of severe maternal morbidity (SMM), which refers to unexpected and serious health problems during or after childbirth. You might be eligible if you are pregnant (less than 17 weeks), identify as Black/African American or Hispanic/Latina, are between 18 and 50 years old, have a certain risk score or history of preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy), and receive care at Northwell Health. The study will compare two levels of support: 'MOMs High-Touch' and 'MOMs Low-Touch', which include maternal health education resources, telehealth visits, and tools like a home blood pressure monitor and Fitbit. The main goal is to see if these interventions can lower the rate of SMM at labor and delivery, and up to one year postpartum. The study plans to enroll 674 participants.

Study design

This is an interventional study that plans to enroll 674 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: MOMs High-Touch or MOMs Low-Touch.

What's involved

You would receive maternal health education resources, potentially up to 12 bi-weekly prenatal telehealth visits, and bi-weekly postpartum telehealth visits until 6 weeks postpartum. You would also use a home blood pressure monitor and a Fitbit throughout the study period.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed for severe maternal morbidity at labor and delivery, 1-month postpartum, and 1-year postpartum.
