Summary
This study tests whether community-based patient navigators can improve maternal health for Black women in a safety-net health system. 540 pregnant women with unmet social needs will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care or extra support from a navigator from mid-pregnancy through 12 months after birth. The goal is to reduce severe complications and deaths related to pregnancy.
