This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing two different ways to screen for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Black pregnant women during their first prenatal visit. One approach uses a culturally responsive screening method that includes brief counseling and referral to care, while the other uses a standard screening questionnaire. Researchers want to see which method works better at helping pregnant women get the support they need.
Black pregnant women face unique barriers to mental health care and may experience higher rates of trauma-related stress. This study aims to find the most effective way to identify and connect these women with treatment during pregnancy, when early support can make a real difference for both mother and baby.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will participate in a 20–30 minute culturally responsive screening and brief counseling session (either before or after your regular prenatal visit), while the other group will answer screening questions as part of your standard prenatal care. You'll complete surveys and clinic visits over about 12 months, with approximately 4 visits total. If any safety concerns come up, the study team will make sure you're connected with appropriate clinical support.
