Trial population
The present research study focuses on hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, thus, it is necessary that pregnant participants be enrolled. Within this population, we aim to enroll at least 200 high-risk and 550 low-risk participants. Participation in the study will be limited to individuals who speak either English or Spanish, as study staff members are capable of communication with these individuals, and these languages represent the majority of patients seen at both study sites.
