Summary
This study tests whether giving doctors a reminder and providing patients with a one-page handout can help women who had gestational diabetes or high blood pressure during pregnancy get a primary care visit within six months of delivery. The goal is to prevent future diabetes and heart disease. Participants are English- or Spanish-speaking adults who received prenatal care at a study site.
