Detailed Description The doula-led intervention developed during the first phase of this project will be pilot tested for feasibility. Following the recruitment procedures described in the recruitment and retention plan, approximately 75 participants will be enrolled into the study. Twenty-five of the participants will receive regular doula care and 25 of the participants will receive care from a doula trained in the PMAD doula training throughout their pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum time period, following the intervention procedures developed in Aim 2 of this study. Twenty-five women will not receive care from a doula and will receive perinatal care as usual. Women in all groups will take surveys via REDCap during their enrollment in the intervention, at 1 month postpartum, 3 months, and 6 months postpartum (at the conclusion of the intervention). All participants who receive the PMAD doula intervention will complete checklists after each session with their doula, to assess fidelity to the intervention. Participant communication with their doula via patient notebook will also be assessed for fidelity to the intervention.

All participants who receive the PMAD doula intervention will complete checklists after each session with their doula, to assess fidelity to the intervention. Participant communication with their doula via patient notebook will also be assessed for fidelity to the intervention. A subsection of 20 participants who receive care from doulas in the PMAD training will also be eligible to participate in a qualitative interview at 6 months postpartum. The interview guide will be developed based on prior research with doulas, the PI's current research exploring doula-care in Montana, and feedback from the CAB. Example questions are expected to include: "What were your experiences working with a doula?" "What would have made your experience better?" and "What worked and what didn't work?"
Interviewers will all be graduate students who have completed research methods courses and will be trained by the PI, who has extensive experience in conducting qualitative research and in conducting qualitative interviews.
The following procedures will be followed:
Participants who are randomized into the intervention arm of the study will also be randomly selected to participate in cross-sectional, semi-structured interviews.
Participant recruitment is described in the recruitment and retention plan. Participants will be interviewed about experience in the intervention.
The following steps will be followed:

| The Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory (CBSEI) | The Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory (CBSEI) is a 60-item self-report instrument that measures self-efficacy expectancies for coping with childbirth. In describing the development of the CBSEI, Lowe (1993) reports that the CBSEI scales have excellent internal consistency reliability (0.86 to 0.96) and factor analysis suggested that each CBSEl scale is unidimensional. Validity of the CBSEI was supported by significant positive correlations with the criterion variables of generalized self-efficacy, self-esteem, and internal health locus of control; and significant negative correlations with external health locus of control and learned helplessness. Validity was also supported by significantly higher self-efficacy scores for multiparous as compared to nulliparous pregnant women. | At study enrollment |

| Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) | The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test(AUDIT) is a 10-item self-report measure that identifies alcohol consumption, drinking behaviors, and alcohol-related problems among adults. As described in a review by Reinert and Allen (2007): Over a broad range of diverse samples and settings the AUDIT has demonstrated a high degree of internal consistency. In a reliability generalization analysis of studies that appeared in 2000 or before, Shields and Caruso (2003) calculated a median reliability of 0.81, with a range of 0.59 to 0.91. Psychometric properties of the AUDIT, such as test-retest reliability and internal consistency, are high. |

| Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)-7 | The GAD-7 screens for and is a symptom severity measure for four of the most common anxiety disorders.

Test-retest reliability is also good (intraclass correlation = 0.83). Comparison of scores derived from the self-report scales with those derived from the MHP-administered versions of the same scales yielded similar results (intraclass correlation = 0.83), indicating good procedural validity. As the cut point increases, sensitivity decreases and specificity increases in a continuous fashion. At a cut point of 10 or greater, sensitivity and specificity exceed 0.80, and sensitivity is nearly maximized. The GAD-7 also has strong construct validity. There is a strong association between increasing GAD-7 severity scores and worsening function on all 6 SF-20 scales." | At study enrollment |
