HEAR 4 Mamas
HEAR 4 Mamas
The purpose of this study is to learn if a program for new moms can improve detection of complications after delivery and help women get medical care quickly and easily. Participants will be asked to complete a survey at the time of enrollment and at 3 additional times. All surveys can be completed via cell-phone or email. All women will be followed for 1-year after delivery. Women that enroll will be assigned to one of two groups: usual in person care OR usual in-person care PLUS the HEAR 4 Mamas program (text message-based program that will ask about signs and symptoms of complications that may occur after delivery). If there is a concern, a nurse advocate will call on the phone to discuss options and help refer to care if needed. Participants will be paid for their time in completing surveys.
Participants may be eligible to join if they:
- Are 16-49 years old
- Delivered a baby in the last two weeks in South Carolina
- Insured by Medicaid
