NCT ID NCT07157059

Summary

This study tested whether adding a doula—a trained birth companion—to standard prenatal care could improve the healthcare experience and outcomes for Black pregnant people. Researchers enrolled 30 participants to see if doula support led to better communication with doctors, reduced depression and pain, and improved birth results like fewer preterm deliveries. The goal was to find ways to address racial disparities in maternal health.
