项目摘要

ABSTRACT Persistent and worsening racial and ethnic disparities in severe maternal morbidity and mortality in the US are urgent public health concerns requiring innovative, sustainable solutions. The perinatal period, the time before and after birth, has important implications for a woman’s health and that of her child. Unfortunately, standard perinatal care fails to meet the needs of women from Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) communities, especially with consideration to the Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) and the systemic racism that drive health disparities. Doula care is increasingly recommended to support high-risk BIPOC women during labor and the immediate postpartum period and is posited to mitigate the effects of racism and SDoH in underserved populations. However, a key limitation to doula care is that doulas are largely relegated to working in parallel with the healthcare team and the potential consequences of this include disjointed care coordination and missed opportunities to improve healthcare quality for BIPOC women. Building on our team’s prior and current work optimizing perinatal care for medically underserved women, we will develop and evaluate a Well- Mama intervention in 3 participating medical centers in Chicago IL, Baton Rouge LA, and Newark NJ which have some of the highest US rates of maternal morbidity and mortality. The Well-Mama intervention is centered on uninsured and publicly insured pregnant and postpartum BIPOC women supported by Community Doula Navigators (CDNs) who will conduct in-person and telehealth wellness check-ins using the Well-Mama safety checklist; make referrals to resources following the check-ins, with feedback provided to the perinatal care team; lead virtual pregnancy and postpartum support groups; attend select patient visits; and provide labor support. The Well-Mama checklist includes 5 priority topic areas representing leading factors in maternal morbidity and mortality in which to attune doulas and their patients: (a) mental health/depression; (b) cardiovascular symptoms; (c) safety (e.g., guns at home and intimate partner violence); (d) opioid/substance abuse; and (e) social support, self-agency, and well-being. Well-Mama advances a Shared Care Model approach to health care delivery focused on interprofessional collaboration in relation to centering care on the individual patient. Through a Hybrid Type 1 randomized effectiveness-implementation trial of N=576 women, we will compare the effectiveness of the Well-Mama intervention relative to standard perinatal care in improving women’s receipt of recommended care components (primary outcome), reducing patient medical distrust and experience of racism/discrimination, increasing health engagement, self-efficacy, and perception of care team quality, and enhancing perinatal care team cohesion (secondary outcomes), while evaluating intervention implementation. Results will optimize doula integrated perinatal care to address the top drivers of maternal morbidity and mortality with the goal of reducing maternal health disparities experienced by pregnant and postpartum BIPOC women.

抽象的美国严重孕产妇发病率和死亡率方面持续存在且不断恶化的种族和民族差异迫切的公共卫生问题需要创新、可持续的解决方案。不幸的是，出生后，对女性及其孩子的健康有重要影响。围产期护理未能满足黑人、原住民和有色人种妇女 (BIPOC) 的需求社区，特别是考虑到健康的社会决定因素 (SDoH) 和系统性种族主义越来越多的人建议采用导乐护理来支持高危 BIPOC 妇女。分娩和产后期间，旨在减轻种族主义和 SDoH 的影响然而，导乐护理的一个主要限制是导乐很大程度上与工作有关。与医疗团队并行，其潜在后果包括护理协调脱节并错过了提高 BIPOC 女性医疗保健质量的机会。当前的工作是优化医疗服务不足的妇女的围产期护理，我们将开发和评估良好的妈妈在伊利诺伊州芝加哥、洛杉矶巴吞鲁日和新泽西州纽瓦克的 3 个参与医疗中心进行干预，这些中心已美国一些孕产妇发病率和死亡率最高的地区是 Well-Mama 干预措施的重点。社区导乐支持的未参保和公共参保孕妇和产后 BIPOC 妇女导航员 (CDN) 将使用 Well-Mama 安全系统进行现场和远程健康检查检查表；在签到后转介资源，并向围产期护理团队提供反馈；领导虚拟怀孕和产后支持小组；参加选定的患者访问并提供分娩支持。 Well-Mama 清单包括 5 个优先主题领域，代表产妇发病率和调整导乐师及其患者的死亡率：(a) 心理健康/抑郁；(b) 心血管症状； (c) 安全（例如家庭枪支和亲密伴侣暴力）； (d) 阿片类药物/药物滥用；以及 (e) 社会支持； Well-Mama 提出了一种共享护理模式来提供医疗保健服务。专注于通过混合方式以个体患者为中心的跨专业合作。对 N = 576 名女性进行的 1 类随机有效性实施试验，我们将比较以下方法的有效性 Well-Mama 干预相对于标准围产期护理在改善妇女接受建议方面的效果护理组成部分（主要结果），减少患者的医疗不信任和种族主义/歧视的经历，提高健康参与度、自我效能和对护理团队质量的认知，并加强围产期护理团队凝聚力（次要结果），同时评估干预结果将优化导乐。综合围产期护理，解决孕产妇发病率和死亡率的首要驱动因素，目标是减少怀孕和产后 BIPOC 妇女经历的孕产妇健康差异。
