Fourth Trimester - A Web-based Tool for Postpartum Care to Address the Needs of Underserved Women
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Fourth Trimester Mobile Tool for Pregnancy Related and Postpartum Sadness. Completed, enrolled 87 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The postpartum period is a critical time for both maternal and child health, and more than half of all maternal deaths occur postpartum, from one day to one year after birth. This poor outcome is linked to the racial and ethnic disparities that disproportionately effects low income and black women. To reduce the burden of the postpartum period for this population, the goal of this project is to develop an accessible, targeted online tool designed to address the needs of underserved women who are at greater risk for adverse postpartum outcomes by providing the appropriate tools, knowledge and skills to improve postpartum health.
