What the study is about

The goal of this study is to learn about the effects of Medicaid policy interventions on severe maternal morbidity (SMM) and mortality and maternal health. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • What is the effect of Medicaid healthcare quality interventions on SMM?
  • What is the effect of Medicaid healthcare quality interventions + doula care?
  • What are Medicaid beneficiaries' experiences in receiving services and the potential impact of integration of doula services?

Participants will be asked to describe experiences as a result of Medicaid policy interventions and focused Medicaid policies.

Being studied: Medicaid healthcare quality interventions (incentive payment and obstetric bundled payment); Doula; Standard Care

Conditions: Severe Maternal Morbidity; Maternal Death
