To evaluate the efficacy of nipocalimab compared with placebo on reducing the risk of fetal anemia with live neonates in pregnant participants at risk for severe HDFN.
This study seeks to understand how offering and receiving prenatal screening and diagnosis has changed with abortion legislation changing since July 2022.
We are conducting a study to understand how diverse pregnant people make decisions about prenatal diagnosis when fetal anomalies are present. We will be conducting semi-structured interviews of individuals that have been in the above clinical situation to better understand how personal, community, and systems-level factors impact their decision making. We will also be studying the longitudinal impact of receiving genetic information during pregnancy, particularly among those that have undergone exome or genome sequencing for prenatal diagnosis.
The World Health Organization recommends one ultrasound before 24 weeks of pregnancy. Recent developments with technology-assisted ultrasound increase ultrasound access to patients in low- and middle-income countries. This study is the evaluation of the implementation of technology-assisted ultrasounds in 7 antenatal clinics in Zambia. The goal is to understanding the acceptability and feasibility of the ultrasounds, and ultimately to publish information helpful to policymakers and clinic directors involved in implementing similar programs in low-resource settings.
Determine if group prenatal care that focuses on behavioral health improves pregnancy and infant outcomes for pregnant people at high risk for depression.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a Food is Medicine intervention when started during the first trimester of pregnancy. The eating pattern we are testing in this study is a Mediterranean-style dietary pattern adapted for the southern United States - thus, we call the program "Med-South." All who take part will receive Med-South dietary counseling. In addition, to help participants follow a Med-style dietary pattern, one group of study participants will receive extra virgin olive oil and nuts. The other group will receive extra virgin olive oil, nuts, and frozen meals (medically tailored meals) that align with the Med-South dietary pattern. Participants will be assigned at random (like flipping a coin) to one of these groups.
To assess Justice Core clients' experiences with the Justice Core program.
The purpose of this study is to understand if there are core differences present in the brain imaging scans of a fetus who has a limb difference. These imaging scans will be completed before and after the birth of the child. This study will also allow us to counsel families and provide education on the specified limb difference.
The purpose of this study is to ask our coalition members and patient action group members how engaged they feel in the ACHIEVE inititative. We are also asking clinic providers and staff how they feel about the guidelines we are asking them to implement as part of the ACHIEVE initiative. Finally, we are assessing the extent to which care teams demonstrate respectful care during interactions with patient actors.
Pregnancy complications are increasing in the United States, and this is worse for Black patients, who are 3-4 times more likely to die from pregnancy than White patients. Pregnancy complications and deaths cause large physical, social, and financial burdens for patients and their families. Our study aims to decrease pregnancy complications for all patients, but especially for Black patients, by decreasing institutional racism and bias in healthcare and improving community-based social support during pregnancy.
