Evaluating the pilot pop up pregnancy & family village: a community initiative to improve maternal and infant health in St. Joseph County, Indiana.
Article in BMC health services research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMaternal and infant mortality in Indiana remain above national averages, largely due to inequities in healthcare access. This study evaluates a pilot Pop Up Pregnancy & Family Village, a community-based, one-stop-shop model designed to improve maternal and infant health by integrating health and social services.
methodsA mixed-methods evaluation guided by the RE-AIM framework (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) incorporated demographic tracking, vendor service metrics, attendee surveys, focus group, and written feedback.
resultsThe Village reached high-burden zip codes, engaging pregnant individuals and families, though postpartum participation was lower. Vendors reported delivering 299 services, 147 referrals, and 37 enrolled in programs, indicating strong utilization. Attendees expressed satisfaction, trust in providers, and increased confidence in navigating resources. Community feedback highlighted the need for expanded postpartum support, culturally tailored foods, improved event logistics, and wider outreach.
conclusionsThe Village’s success rested on trust-building, cultural responsiveness, and community ownership. Co-design with local stakeholders ensured services reflected the lived experiences of families facing health disparities. This pilot demonstrates the promise of community-driven interventions to transform care delivery in underserved settings. Future efforts should strengthen postpartum resources, broaden outreach, and improve operations to promote equitable engagement and sustained impact.
