Information and samples collected will help us research preterm birth, preeclampsia, and other pregnancy complications, and will be stored for future studies on pregnancy-related conditions.<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Contact:<\/strong><\/span> mail protectmc@unc.edu or call 984-280-5225<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.manuckresearch.org\/about-us.html\">For more on PROTECT-MC<\/a> <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n        \n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<div class=\"panel panel-default oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n    <div id=\"panel-heading-details-0-9\" class=\"panel-heading oscitas-bootstrap-container\" role=\"tab\">\n\n        <h3 class=\"panel-title oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n            <button class=\"accordion-toggle oscitas-bootstrap-container collapsed\" \n                id = \"button-details-0-9\"\n                data-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                data-parent=\"#unc-accordion-0\"    \n                aria-controls=\"#details-0-9\"  \n                aria-expanded=\"false\" \n                href=\"#details-0-9\">\n                PTB CARE+ <em>(Coming Soon)<\/em>            <\/button>\n\n        <\/h3>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div id=\"details-0-9\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse  oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n        <div class=\"panel-body oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Study Name:<\/strong><\/span> Personalized care for prenatal stress reduction and preterm birth disparities prevention (PTBCARE+)<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Purpose:<\/strong><\/span> UNC PTBCARE+ is a randomized control trial study that will test whether a personalized patient support program during pregnancy can decrease stress, reduce racial and ethnic health disparities, and improve birth outcomes.

At UNC, we have newly integrated a standardized approach for screening and resource connection across our four main prenatal clinics. We&#8217;re carefully evaluating this process by collecting information and gathering feedback from both clinical staff and patients. Our goal is to continue to refine our approach to make it effective, sustainable, and patient-centered to continue to enhance the care experience and support\u00a0positive maternal-infant outcomes for all those we serve.<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>IRB #:<\/strong><\/span> 24-3104<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Contact:<\/strong><\/span> \u00a0Paige Anderson (<a class=\"ms-outlook-linkify\" href=\"mailto:Paige_Anderson@med.unc.edu\">Paige_Anderson@med.unc.edu<\/a>) <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n        \n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<div class=\"panel panel-default oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n    <div id=\"panel-heading-details-1-7\" class=\"panel-heading oscitas-bootstrap-container\" role=\"tab\">\n\n        <h2 class=\"panel-title oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n            <button class=\"accordion-toggle oscitas-bootstrap-container collapsed\" \n                id = \"button-details-1-7\"\n                data-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                data-parent=\"#unc-accordion-1\"    \n                aria-controls=\"#details-1-7\"  \n                aria-expanded=\"false\" \n                href=\"#details-1-7\">\n                MATernity Cohort Study             <\/button>\n\n        <\/h2>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div id=\"details-1-7\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse  oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n        <div class=\"panel-body oscitas-bootstrap-container\"> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Study Name:<\/strong><\/span> MATernity Cohort Study<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Purpose:<\/strong><\/span> This is a pilot cohort of pregnant and postpartum people recruited from a prison prenatal clinic with follow-up through three months postpartum to learn about their pregnancy, substance use, and incarceration experiences.<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>IRB #&#8217;s:<\/strong><\/span> 21-2379, 20-3559<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Contact:<\/strong><\/span> Andrea Knittel (<a href=\"mailto:andrea_knittel@med.unc.edu\">andrea_knittel@med.unc.edu<\/a>)\u00a0<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n        \n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<div class=\"panel panel-default oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n    <div id=\"panel-heading-details-1-8\" class=\"panel-heading oscitas-bootstrap-container\" role=\"tab\">\n\n        <h2 class=\"panel-title oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n            <button class=\"accordion-toggle oscitas-bootstrap-container collapsed\" \n                id = \"button-details-1-8\"\n                data-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                data-parent=\"#unc-accordion-1\"    \n                aria-controls=\"#details-1-8\"  \n                aria-expanded=\"false\" \n                href=\"#details-1-8\">\n                Justice Core: Implementing evidence-based substance use disorder treatment through alternatives to perinatal incarceration             <\/button>\n\n        <\/h2>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div id=\"details-1-8\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse  oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n        <div class=\"panel-body oscitas-bootstrap-container\"> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Study Name:<\/strong><\/span> Justice Core: Implementing evidence-based substance use disorder treatment through alternatives to perinatal incarceration<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Purpose:<\/strong><\/span> This mixed methods study aims to quantify the scope of perinatal incarceration in North Carolina and assess the feasibility of a pre-trial diversion intervention for pregnant people with substance use disorders.<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>IRB #&#8217;s:<\/strong><\/span> 22-1508, 23-1586, 24-0216<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Contact:<\/strong><\/span> Andrea Knittel (andrea_knittel@med.unc.edu)\u00a0<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n        \n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<div class=\"panel panel-default oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n    <div id=\"panel-heading-details-1-9\" class=\"panel-heading oscitas-bootstrap-container\" role=\"tab\">\n\n        <h2 class=\"panel-title oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n            <button class=\"accordion-toggle oscitas-bootstrap-container collapsed\" \n                id = \"button-details-1-9\"\n                data-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                data-parent=\"#unc-accordion-1\"    \n                aria-controls=\"#details-1-9\"  \n                aria-expanded=\"false\" \n                href=\"#details-1-9\">\n                PRECEDE <em>(Open &amp;
