MH-Rx Study: Comprehensive and Multi-Level Medication Therapy Management and Non-Medical Health Related Needs Targeted Intervention Model for Maternal Health Outcomes. (Baby on Board: Check-in on You, Your Medication, & Your Blood Pressure)
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether adding Community Health Worker (CHW)/Social Worker (SW)-led support for non-medical health related needs (NMHRN) and clinician-led Medication Therapy Management (MTM) to remote blood pressure monitoring improves outcomes for pregnant women with chronic hypertension or gestational hypertension (i.e high blood pressure that was present before pregnancy or developed during pregnancy).
All participants will monitor their blood pressure at home, use the TSU MH Rx app, and complete assessments related to social needs, depression, anxiety, pregnancy care experiences, and satisfaction. Only participants in the intervention group will receive targeted virtual social needs support and virtual regular MTM sessions focused on medications, self-care, adherence, and risk reduction. The study will assess blood pressure and maternal outcomes, feasibility, and participant satisfaction with the combined intervention.
