Study Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled intervention trial is to determine if an integrated partnership between a birth worker/community support organization and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP), will improve both the experience and outcomes for Black birthing people. The main question it aims to answer is whether an integrated partnership between a birth worker/community support organization and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) will mitigate bias and mistrust thereby improving both the experience and outcomes for Black birthing people, assessed by the primary outcome of depression score. Participants will be randomized to Doula care (receive 2 prenatal visits, continuous intrapartum support, and 2 postpartum visits with a certified doula) or standard of care (receive prenatal care, labor and delivery, and postpartum care as they normally would if not in the study) and followed through 6 weeks postpartum.

Primary Outcome

Scores from the validated EPDS screening tool will be calculated using standard scoring criteria for each of the 10 items. A score of 9 or greater or indication of suicide ideation will be used to indicate a positive depression screen
