NCT ID NCT06582147
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a program called WE CARE in the NICU, which screens families of preterm babies for unmet social needs like housing or job insecurity and provides referrals to community resources. About 882 mothers and their preterm infants (born before 34 weeks) will take part. The goal is to see if this approach helps families get the support they need, potentially improving the babies' long-term health.
