New program aims to help moms after preterm birth
NCT ID NCT05120843
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a care coordination and motivational interviewing program for women who recently had a preterm birth. The goal was to see if the program was feasible and acceptable to participants. Only 13 women enrolled before the study was terminated, so the findings are very preliminary.
