Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Doula Home Visiting

The intervention is a doula enhancement to evidence-based home visiting services. Doulas provide home visits during pregnancy and for the first six weeks postpartum, which focus on prenatal health, preparation for childbirth, bonding with the baby, and breastfeeding education. Family support workers provide longer term home visiting services. These home visits focus on sensitive and responsive parenting, early infant care, bonding with the baby, child health and development, and maternal mental health.

BEHAVIORAL

Case management

Mothers are offered two prenatal and two postpartum case management meetings to assess whether mothers' basic needs (housing, nutrition, health care, mental health) are being met and make appropriate referrals.
