Emory University

Start Date

2/20/2025

Completion Date

3/1/2029

Summary

This study will compare the effectiveness of two active screening interventions in improving post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, maternal perinatal care utilization, satisfaction utilization of mental healthcare services, and maternal health and birth-related outcomes for Black pregnant women.

Detailed Description

Researchers will examine whether Culturally Responsive Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) for obstetrics (OB) is more effective in reducing PTSD symptoms compared to brief screening for PTSD. This study will help participating OB clinics to determine the best option for screening for PTSD in Black pregnant persons in their clinic during first-trimester prenatal visits. The study population will include Black pregnant women receiving medical care in their first trimester of pregnancy. Surveys and chart abstraction will be used in this study to collect data. The approximate study duration for individuals is 4 visits over 12 months.
