Comparing Two Pregnancy Care Programs for Preventing Premature Births

In response to COVID-19, prenatal care has shifted from all in-person appointments to a combination of in-person and telehealth appointments, using phone, video, or other devices that help manage care. With this enhancement, the research team wants to learn whether group prenatal care using telehealth works well for women with low incomes, particularly those who are Black or Latina. Working with the advisory group, the team will adapt their group prenatal care model for telehealth. The team will ask women who've had prenatal care during the pandemic about: Getting prenatal care via telehealth How well they were able to monitor care at home How satisfied they were with their care They will also talk with healthcare providers, payers, and people from community agencies. Results will be used to test whether the telehealth group prenatal care is feasible and acceptable.
