Summary

This study tested a program called OPTIMIZE to help African American pregnant women get better care during and after pregnancy. Half of the clinics used a special checklist and offered a patient navigator, while the other half provided standard care. The goal was to see if the program improved the number of important care steps women received, such as prenatal visits, postpartum checkups, and help with social needs.
