Improving Black maternal care by undoing inequities
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a care improvement plan in prenatal clinics to reduce inequities in how care is delivered to Black pregnant people. It may help clinics change practices and use tools that better spot problems early and improve support like doula care.
