Prenatal Stress clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
Prenatal stress happens when someone feels worried during pregnancy. UCSF is researching how better prenatal care can help those on Medi-Cal. One trial looks at two different care methods to find the most effective one.
Engaging Mothers & Babies; Reimagining Antenatal Care for Everyone (EMBRACE) Study
open to eligible females
This is a randomized comparative effectiveness study of two forms of enhanced prenatal care among 657 Medi-Cal eligible pregnant individuals in Fresno, California. The goal is to see whether group prenatal care with wrap around services versus individual prenatal care supplemented by services covered by the California Department of Public Health Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program (CPSP) results in less depression and anxiety, and more respectful, more person-centered maternity care and lower rates of preterm birth.
