Care After Pregnancy Study (CAPS): Engaging Women in Postpartum Care

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Postpartum Care

In brief

The overarching hypothesis of our research agenda is that an intervention that engages economically disadvantaged women in personalized postpartum care will promote equality in maternal child health. As a first step to test our hypothesis the investigators propose the following aims: Specific Aim 1: Measure the impact of Healthy Beyond Pregnancy on key components of postpartum care, including use of effective contraception at three and six months postpartum and breastfeeding duration at three and six months. Specific Aim 2: Determine if Healthy Beyond Pregnancy improves adherence to health screening and linkage to follow-up care for women with cardio-metabolic complications of pregnancy.
