About this trial
The Expecting intervention as delivered in prior studies in a clinical setting is described in a previous approved IRB submission (Protocol 202954). The current project will seek to engage community stakeholders to translate Expecting to a community-delivered intervention and to test its acceptability, feasibility, and fidelity in a proof of principle study with 60 expecting mothers.
