ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial, called "Nourishing Beginnings," is focused on helping pregnant women who may not have enough access to healthy food. The goal is to see if having community health workers (CHWs) can make a difference in improving nutrition for expectant mothers. This project is working with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank and aims to find out if this approach can help reduce complications during pregnancy, including premature births.
To participate in this trial, women must be eligible for Medicaid, join the CHW Hub, and be able to read and understand English. If you are selected, you can expect to receive support from a community health worker who will help connect you with nutritious food options. This trial is currently looking for participants, so if you or someone you know fits the criteria, it might be a great opportunity to get help during pregnancy while also contributing to important research.
