About this Study

This research study explores how the Moment for Parents app can support Black pregnant and postpartum women who qualify for federal assistance in meeting their social needs. This includes having a safe home, healthy food, a good job, and supportive relationships. We're inviting at least 30 women to use the app for 45 days and share their thoughts in an interview and survey.
