Measure
Attention Control Group
If randomized to the attention control arm participants will receive discharge instruction from the postpartum nurses per usual care. Study investigators will ask them to provide us with an SMS number. This will enable collection of self-reported breast feeding duration as well as texts on general infant care. The infant care texts are educational in nature and no data will be collected. Participants will receive a total of two texts on general infant care in the first month postpartum. This increased attention to the control arm mirrors the attention received by the Healthy Beyond Pregnancy arms and seeks to isolate the effect of the intervention from a general increased level of contact with providers. Attention Control: Participants will receive texts related to infant care to mirror the attention participants receive in the Healthy Beyond Pregnancy intervention.
Pre-Scheduled Postpartum Visit:
If randomized the usual care with pre-scheduled visit arm, participants will schedule their postpartum visit with the study coordinator and receive discharge information per usual care. Pre-Scheduled Postpartum Visit: Participants will have their postpartum visit scheduled while they are still in the hospital after delivery.
Healthy Beyond Pregnancy
Healthy Beyond Pregnancy is a web platform with an electronic survey that assesses a participant's self-identified postpartum concerns. Participants are then presented with 3 educational videos that reflect their self-identified needs from the survey. The Healthy Beyond Pregnancy generates an individualized passport for postpartum care. This passport for care lists the women's self-identified postpartum needs as well as issues that should be prioritized based on her health history. The individualized passport for postpartum care will be printed out and given to participants. After the participant schedules her postpartum visit, she will receive a printout that includes the date and time of her appointment, a copy of the commitment statement. Healthy Beyond Pregnancy: Web-based application grounded in tenants of behavioral economics.
