About this trial
Research Aim 1: Determine the effectiveness of PROMOTE vs. usual care to increase patients' receipt of counseling about workplace accommodations and pregnancy. Investigators will recruit and randomize Obstetric providers to the PROMOTE intervention or usual care. The investigators will compare the frequency of EHR documented work- related counseling and adherence to employer documentation recommendations between the two study arms.
Hypothesis: Patients receiving care by a provider randomized to PROMOTE will have higher rates of documented counseling about work and pregnancy.
Research Aim 2: Determine the effectiveness of PROMOTE vs. usual care to reduce undesired wage or advancement reduction, increase accommodation requests granted, and improve maternal-infant health. The investigators will recruit a racially and socioeconomically diverse cohort of 304 pregnant patients and compare responses to surveys and qualitative interviews about work experiences and EHR-documented maternal-infant health outcomes among patients receiving care by providers randomized to PROMOTE vs. usual care.
Hypothesis: Compared to patients receiving care by providers randomized to usual care, participants receiving care by providers randomized to PROMOTE will have less undesired loss of wages and advancement, increased accommodation request granted, and improved maternal-infant health during pregnancy.
