Improving Prenatal Care to Reduce Early Onset Preeclampsia in Low-Income
Sponsor: University of Kansas Medical Center
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a telehealth hypertension group prenatal care program (Centering HER / HGPC-T) can improve blood pressure monitoring and aspirin adherence and help reduce early-onset preeclampsia in low-income, predominantly Black pregnant participants in Kansas who are \<13 weeks gestation, age ≥18, and moderate or high risk for preeclampsia (USPSTF). The main question\[s\] it aims to answer \[is/are\]: Does Centering HER increase hypertension monitoring and aspirin compliance compared with usual doula care? Is Centering HER feasible and acceptable, and what contextual factors influence implementation in community clinics?
