| Abstrakt: | Socioeconomically disadvantaged women experience barriers to attending postpartum medical visits (PMV). This three-phase pilot study explored the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of an educational intervention to increase PMV attendance in mothers enrolled in early childhood home visiting. Phases 1 and 2 occurred prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Phase 3 occurred during the pandemic. Home visitor implementation of the intervention with mothers was feasible and acceptable in all phases. All mothers who received the intervention reported PMV attendance. Overall, 81% of mothers reported they discussed all questions with healthcare providers at the PMV. These findings provide preliminary effectiveness for a brief educational intervention in increasing PMV attendance in home-visited mothers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
