NCT ID NCT07446374
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to improve health outcomes for pregnant people in Rhode Island by connecting them with community health workers, doulas, and services like food and housing help. Over 4 years, about 3,000 participants will receive this support at 6 clinics. Researchers will compare health results before and after the program to see if it reduces serious complications and racial gaps.
