Study Design

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The investigators plan a multisite step-wedge cluster randomized trial to test the extent to which interprofessional collaboration training (IPC training) reduces racial disparities in postpartum pain (primary outcome) and pain assessment and treatment (secondary, health team processes), improves birthing people's experience of respectful care (secondary outcomes), and fostering a positive shift in health team interprofessional collaboration attitudes and teamwork (secondary process outcomes).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Pre-intervention

In the pre-intervention sequence(s), birthing people at participating hospitals will experience treatment-as-usual.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Usual Care

Intervention Type OTHER

Prior to implementation of the IPC training, birthing people at the facilities will receive treatment-as-usual

Post-intervention

In the post-intervention sequence(s), birthing people at participating hospitals will experience treatment by health care teams that have undergone the Building Equitable Linkages With Interprofessional Education Valuing Everyone interprofessional education (BELIEVE IPE) training.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

BELIEVE IPE Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The IPC training will be delivered to health team members who provide intrapartum and/or postpartum maternity care at each facility. Individuals with roles as maternity care providers, nurses, lactation consultants or doulas whose primary inpatient clinical assignment is maternity care will be included in the training. The training will consist of a pre-session module (about 60 minutes), a 90-minute interprofessional collaboration session, delivered using virtual reality head-sets, and post-session modules (about 60 minutes). The pre- and post-session modules will be delivered through an online learning platform.
