Summary

This trial tests whether a group prenatal care model that includes social services can improve maternal mental health and reduce preterm birth compared to standard individual care with added services. Pregnant women eligible for Medi-Cal in central California are randomly assigned to either group sessions or individual care. Researchers will measure depression, anxiety, satisfaction with care, and preterm birth rates to see which approach works better.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Glow! group prenatal care, an enhanced model that combines medical care with co-located social services in group sessions
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could point toward a better standard of prenatal care that improves mental health and reduces preterm birth rates in low-income populations.
What could go wrong
This is a single-site trial, and results may not apply broadly. The intervention is complex and depends on community resources, which may limit its scalability.
