NCT ID NCT06520566
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Holistic care partner perinatal nurse navigation (behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could offer a model to improve maternal care and reduce health disparities for Black birthing people.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 55 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It measures acceptability, not direct health outcomes.
