Interventions
Glow! is an enhanced group prenatal care model that offers co-located social services provided by established community programs with independent funding streams targeting low-income families. The Glow! group prenatal care model pairs a trained facilitator with a licensed prenatal care practitioner from a practice site to provide billable prenatal care to the practice's own patients. Over the course of 8-10 sessions, 10-12 women (within a 6- week gestational age range) receive prenatal medical care, risk assessments, and social support, and gain knowledge and skills related to pregnancy, birth, and parenting.
Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program (CPSP) is a state-funded program for Medi-Cal eligible families to receive enhanced care and service coordination. Participants assigned to CPSP individual care may participate in the CPSP assessments with a Comprehensive Perinatal Health Worker at their prenatal care site, where individual prenatal care will be provided
