First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a program called Care Coordination after Preterm Birth (CCAPB) to see if it helps mothers who had a preterm baby. The program provides extra support with healthcare access and well-being for six months. Researchers measured how acceptable the program was and its effects on stress and health. This was a small pilot study with 67 mothers to see if the program is feasible and liked.
