Brief Summary

The investigator's long-term goal is to mitigate pregnancy-related mortality (PRM) risk by systematically delivering integrated clinical and supportive care that is effective, equitable, and scalable. The investigator's central hypothesis is that the Multi-modal Maternal Infant Perinatal Outpatient Delivery System (MOMI PODS) will mitigate postpartum (PP) risk and reduce disparities in PP risk by improving biopsychosocial profiles and facilitating access to evidence-based clinical and supportive care. To test this hypothesis, the investigators will conduct a hybrid type 1 randomized controlled trial (RCT) of MOMI PODS versus enhanced usual care (EUC, which we will term MOMI CARE) among a total sample of 384 mother-infant dyads (192/group) following pregnancy affected by a cardiometabolic and/or mental health condition. The investigators will enroll participants on PP day 1 and collect data at baseline and 6 months and 1 year PP. The investigators will collect implementation and service data across sites.

Detailed Description

Using this data, the investigators will address the following Specific Aims:

Specific Aim 1: To evaluate the effectiveness of MOMI PODS versus EUC in mitigating cardiometabolic and mental health risk across the PP year. Hypotheses: MOMI PODS (vs. EUC) recipients will show better cardiometabolic and mental health (Primary Outcomes: higher Life's Essential 8 scores, fewer depressive and anxiety symptoms, Secondary Outcomes: fewer emergency visits and hospital readmissions).

Specific Aim 2: To identify the biopsychosocial mechanisms through which MOMI PODS affects PP cardiometabolic and mental health at the individual patient level. Hypotheses: MOMI PODS (vs. EUC) recipients will report better patient-provider relationships and less psychosocial stress and show better stress-responsive endocrine and immune profiles, which will be critical drivers of cardiometabolic and mental health.

Specific Aim 3: To determine if MOMI PODS reduces socioeconomic (SES), racial, and ethnic disparities in evidence-based PP care delivery and identify strategies to improve implementation and service outcomes. Hypotheses: MOMI PODS (vs. EUC) recipients will receive clinical and supportive care that is more adherent to evidence-based guidelines, which will reduce SES, racial, and ethnic disparities in evidence-based care. Objective: Identify strategies to improve implementation and service outcomes by evaluating fidelity, timeliness, and equity of clinical and supportive care across MOMI PODS sites.

Study Groups

Intervention

MOMI PODS is an innovative, dyadic model of PP primary care. Informed by the Chronic Care Model (CCM) and extensive stakeholder engagement, the MOMI PODS suite of services addresses four primary domains, with a focus on preventing PRM and eliminating SES, racial, and ethnic disparities in PRM. First, MOMI PODS is a dyadic model of care, with mothers and infants cared for in tandem throughout the PP year, and beyond. Second, MOMI PODS was strategically designed to facilitate a coordinated obstetric to PP primary care transition. Third, MOMI PODS is delivered in a way that promotes tailored, evidence-based care informed by the obstetric history. Fourth, MOMI PODS systematically integrates clinical and supportive care to concurrently address clinical and psychosocial needs, with MOMI PODS engagement extending beyond the typical referral process to facilitate direct access to needed resources and empower patients.

Enhanced Usual Care (EUC)

Usual care will be enhanced in by implementing an enhanced PP care handoff as an adaptation of typical institutional discharge procedures. Specifically, under current processes, birthing parents are asked to provide the name of their infant's pediatrician during the L\&D admission, must provide the name of their infant's pediatrician prior to discharge, and are assisted with identifying a pediatrician throughout this process as needed. Alternatively, under current processes, mothers are reminded to seek PP care but not required to identify the location of care or assisted with doing so. As a component of EUC, we'll provide participants with information about our 7 EUC sites and actively assist with identifying their preferred location of care and scheduling PP care. Our research team will also engage with EUC recipients throughout the study period to encourage engagement and study retention through small care packages and hand-written notes, as well as data collection.
