Study Details

Brief summary:

The purpose of this research study is to see if using the MI MOM App improves pregnancy and postpartum health. There are two study groups, where one group is "treatment as usual" and the other is the "MI MOM App" group. Both groups will be asked to answer questions about their pregnancy health. Researchers will also retrieve vital records and Medicaid claims information related to pregnancy for both groups. Those in the "MI MOM App" group will receive mobile web app content and text messages with informational links and links to videos and micro-interventions. They will also identify up to three close friends or family members who will be invited to receive text messages. Those in the "MI MOM App" will also have the option to contact a community health worker as needed.

Interventions

MI MOM App

Participants enrolled in the Michigan Healthy Moms (MI MOM) app will receive initial interactive app content followed by regular text messages with information related to pregnancy health, designed to increase patient awareness of warning signs, help them with self-advocacy, and otherwise improve health in pregnancy and postpartum. They will also have online live chat (text) access to a community healthcare worker who can assist them in enrolling in services to improve their health. They will also have the option of enrolling support persons (partners, family members, close friends, etc.) in the MI MOM app to receive similar information designed to help them support the pregnant participant. Providers at intervention sites will also receive information designed to improve their awareness of techniques for preventing maternal morbidity and mortality.
