Can a 'Maternity care Home' save black and brown Mothers' lives?
NCT ID NCT06245057
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a 'maternity care home' — combining prenatal checkups with social services like housing and food help — can lower the risk of severe complications in Black, Indigenous, Asian, and Latina pregnant patients. About 2,300 participants will be randomly assigned to this integrated care or standard care and followed through one year after birth. The goal is to address the social and structural factors driving racial disparities in maternal health.
