ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Monitoring and Outreach for Maternal Safety Postpartum," is exploring how an online training program can help community health workers (CHWs) better support mothers after childbirth, especially those who may be at higher risk for complications. The study has two groups: one group will receive the online training, while the other will not, allowing researchers to see how effective the training is in improving outreach efforts to postpartum mothers.

To participate in this trial, you need to be at least 18 years old, live in the United States, and self-identify as a community health worker. You should have at least six months of experience working in your community, such as visiting clients in their homes or providing education at health events. All eligible participants will be asked to access the training materials online, so having internet access is important. This study is currently recruiting participants, and there are no specific exclusions, which means that many community health workers may be able to join.
