About this study
The purpose of this project is to improve perinatal health outcomes in Rhode Island by bringing together the hospital, community health workers (CHWs), doulas, and community-based organizations to build a service delivery model that addresses care coordination and social determinants of health (SDOH) as a part of a concerted effort towards achieving equitable perinatal health outcomes. Over 4 years, the hospital-led project team will implement the community-based maternal support services (COMSS) bundle in 6 affiliated clinics, including care coordination, doula care, and referrals and linkages to community-based organizations that address key SDOH (food, housing, transportation). Maternal and infant health outcomes will be compared pre and post program implementation. The central hypothesis is that COMSS will reduce adverse maternal and infant outcomes and associated racial disparities.
