Summary

This study tests a new model of prenatal care that brings community doulas and obstetric providers together as one team. The goal is to build trust and improve healthcare engagement for Black or African American pregnant people. Researchers will first gather feedback from patients and providers, then test the model in a randomized trial with 412 participants.
