A Community Health Worker Intervention to Address Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes

United States maternal mortality and preterm birth rates are among the highest among high-income countries due in part to a combination of racial, regional and socioeconomic disparities in access to care and overall health. The research proposed focuses on adapting and expanding a perinatal community health worker intervention for Black postpartum patients with preeclampsia (PE) and other adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs). Investigators will partner with a community-based organization that trains and deploys community health workers. Investigators will test an intervention for urban and rural Black postpartum patients with APOs to 1) enhance blood pressure control postpartum and 2) promote long-term cardiovascular disease prevention for this underserved population. This pilot study will determine if randomizing and implementing a community health worker intervention tailored to pregnant people experiencing preeclampsia is feasible and found to be acceptable by participants.
