EleVATE GC Trial Summary

This trial will study whether the "EleVATE GC" intervention can reduce depression, preterm birth, and low birthweight in African-American women. If it is effective, this model could be used to help improve mental and obstetric health for low-income women of color across the US.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for African-American women who are pregnant, at high risk of postpartum depression, and under 18 weeks' gestation. They must be able to give informed consent, attend group prenatal visits, speak English or Spanish, and have a history that may increase their risk of depression. Women with multiple pregnancies or serious health issues are not eligible.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests EleVATE Group Care against Individual Prenatal Care to see if it can reduce perinatal depression and improve birth outcomes in low-income African-American women. Participants will either join the group care model or receive standard individual care.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves different methods of prenatal care rather than medication, there aren't typical side effects like you'd expect from drugs. However, participants might experience varying levels of comfort or stress based on the type of care they receive.
