Perinatal Care Provider Perspectives on Integrating Clinical Research Into the Clinical Infrastructure.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study explored perinatal health care providers' perspectives on the recruitment of pregnant participants and integrating clinical research into their practice, with a particular emphasis on the complexities introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

From May to September 2021, semistructured interviews were conducted with 10 perinatal health care providers from an urban US health center. The interview transcripts were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis framework, a rigorous method for analyzing qualitative data by identifying, coding, and reporting themes. This approach allowed us to systematically code the data and identify key themes related to recruitment strategies and integration of clinical trials during prenatal care.
