Brief Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled intervention trial is to evaluate an integrated, interdisciplinary, multi-level maternity care home model (MCHM) aimed at reducing severe maternal morbidity (SMM) among a group of Black indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) patients. The main question it aims to answer is whether a patient-centered MCHM will address the gap in social, structural, and health system factors that contribute to disparities for the most vulnerable patients, thereby reducing SMM. Participants will be randomized to a MCHM (office-based prenatal care that is integrated with social services within the MCHM) or standard of care (office-based prenatal care with individually outsourced social services referrals) and followed during pregnancy through 1 year postpartum.
