upREACH Perinatal Home Visitation Program
Running, not enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Pregnancy, Postpartum
In brief
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a new brief home visitation program delivered by non-nurse home visitors to 1) improve connections to community resources based on reported and assessed needs, 2) increase health self-efficacy, and 3) reduce maternal stress compared to a control group that receives standard care from an obstetric clinic. Secondary administrative data on infant birth outcomes, health care use during the first year of life (appointment adherence), and interaction with government services (such as public assistance or child welfare) will be compared between the groups. For the intervention group, we will secondarily also assess home visit compliance and satisfaction with the intervention. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires that include questions about the participant, their pregnancy, their feelings, their family, and their use of social/community services. Half of the women in this study will be randomly offered free home visitation services and the other half of women in this study will receive standard services from the clinic. The intervention group will be offered at least two free home visits with a non-nurse home visitor. During these visits, the home visitor will provide them with resources and tools to help the participant prepare for their baby. All participants will complete a second round of electronic surveys at approximately 2 months postpartum. Intervention participant outcomes will be compared to a control group that receive standard care from an obstetric clinic.
