IMPACT Trial Summary

This trial is comparing two different ways to help new moms who may not have a lot of money or resources. The goal is to find the best way to improve the health of these moms and prevent them

Who is the study for?
This trial is for postpartum women who gave birth to a live infant at Parkland Hospital or Grady Health and are getting care at certain community clinics. They must be 18 or older and able to give informed consent. Women who didn't deliver at these hospitals or don't speak English or Spanish can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two programs designed to help new moms after giving birth, especially those with lower incomes: one provides intensive education on postpartum care, while the other offers enhanced support through virtual visits and online resources.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational and virtual support interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience stress or discomfort related to time commitment or discussing personal health issues.

IMPACT Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Enhanced Virtual CareActive Control1 Intervention
Women in the enhanced virtual care model will receive scheduled telehealth visits on the platform of their choice - either via video or audio-only synchronous visits. Patients in the virtual care model will check vital signs with home devices during the telehealth visit and report them directly to the provider. This "pull" approach to data collection directly contrasts with the "push" approach of comparator #1.
Group II: Intensive EducationActive Control1 Intervention
Women enrolled in the intensive education care model participate in intensive in-person education as well as ongoing virtual education via the electronic health record web portal in the form of strategically timed "pushes" of relevant and digestible educational elements via a "Care Companion." These virtual education "pushes" will include "to do" list reminders to check vital signs and submit them for review to the care team. Positive reinforcement will be provided when tasks are completed.
