Awards & highlights

Summary

This study will compare the effectiveness of two active screening interventions in improving post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, maternal perinatal care utilization, satisfaction utilization of mental healthcare services, and maternal health and birth-related outcomes for Black pregnant women.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Black pregnant women who may have PTSD. It's designed to see if certain screening methods can help improve their mental health, satisfaction with care, and birth outcomes.
What is being tested?
The study compares two approaches: a brief screening for PTSD and a culturally responsive SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) specifically tailored for obstetrics.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve non-invasive screenings rather than medications or procedures, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in this trial.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Culturally Responsive SBIRT for OBExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants randomized to Culturally Responsive SBIRT for OB will participate in the intervention visit (20-30 minutes) while waiting for their OB visit (or after the visit if time does not allow) and then engage in their prenatal care visit as usual. If any safety concerns emerge during the visit, the lay provider will contact the clinical staff on the study
Group II: Brief Screening for PTSDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants randomized to Brief Screening For PTSD, screening will be conducted as part of regular clinic activities during the initial prenatal care visit. Specifically, clinic staff (nurse, PA) or study staff will ask the questions in the PC-PTSD-5 along with the standard procedure to administer the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and the provider will review the results with the patient during the prenatal care visit and provide referral resources regardless of screen outcome. Positive PTSD screens (PC-PTSD-5 ≥ 3) will be referred to the hospital's integrated care team following the same model as positive EPDS screens.
