CHIME: Comparing Health Interventions for Maternal Equity

We will universally offer social needs supports (grocery, physical activity, transportation support) widely in use in clinical settings. Patients may elect to receive all, some, or none of the supports. The patient-directed, structured self-management intervention will be provided through mobile health technology (mHealth) and/or mailings, according to patient preference. Participants will receive health information to support health education and behavior change.

As is currently in use broadly by community health workers, participants will complete a detailed social needs assessment and active assistance with referrals to evidence-based home visiting programs; maternal child health services to promote social support and resource access; and services to improve social determinants of health including active enrollment assistance for WIC, SNAP, healthcare and insurance, legal support, housing, job training, mental health and others. Community health workers will deliver group and individual physical activity support and assistance with behavioral goal setting.
