What this trial is about
The goal of this study is to evaluate changes in blood pressure and early cardiovascular risk markers and to determine whether a postpartum education intervention can improve cardiovascular risk monitoring among pregnant women in their third trimester through six months postpartum in Accra, Ghana. The study includes women aged 18 years and older with and without pregnancy-related cardiometabolic complications. Findings from this study will inform the development of scalable postpartum screening and intervention strategies to reduce long-term cardiovascular disease risk among women.
