Summary

This study tests a program where Black women perinatal nurses guide Black birthing people through pregnancy and postpartum care. The nurses help with medical, social, and emotional needs, and connect patients to resources. Researchers will survey and interview 55 participants to see if the program is acceptable and feasible, and compare outcomes to a historical control group.
