Study Summary

This trial will test if music can reduce the impact of chronic stress on pregnant Black women, and if it can reduce preterm births and improve baby outcomes.

What is being tested?
The study compares a music intervention (MI) with a sham control (SC), which involves only talking. The goal is to see if MI can lessen the stress effects on pregnant women, reduce premature births, and boost infant health.See study design
