General Summary

Under the direction of the Principal Investigator or designee, the Research Coordinator I is responsible for carrying out multiple complex research protocols.

At the Lifeline for Families Center, we develop and scale practical approaches to integrating mental healthcare into perinatal, infant, and child healthcare. We develop, implement, and test scalable models of care, trainings, and tools that support families, regardless of what professional or setting they present to.â¯Lifeline for Families is a mission-based, women-led organization which supports parents (all child caregivers) and their children in their relationship with one another in traditionally adult- or child-centric settings. We promote mental health for parents and/or children through social connections, trust, and nurturing. Lifeline for Families has two programs: Lifeline for Moms, which drives innovative solutions to addressing multi-level barriers (patient, clinician, practice, population, and policy levels) to perinatal mental health care, and Lifeline for Kids, which addresses the impact of trauma on children and families while simultaneously promoting protective factors, operating under the principle of "you dont have to be a therapist to be therapeutic." These programs are synergistic with each other; together, we work to create a holistic landscape of trauma-informed family care with an equity lens.

The Research Coordinator I will work primarily on a project funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes (PCORI). This project, Pathways for Perinatal Mental Health Equity (Pathways), is a clinical trial that is being conducted at Lifeline for Families. The Research Coordinator may also work on an innovative research program focused on improving perinatal mental health beginning in the preconception period by developing and evaluating a novel Community Health Worker-facilitated digital intervention that integrates preventative mental health support into primary care settings before pregnancy. By combining scalable digital health technology with community-informed expertise, this work seeks to improve engagement, accessibility, and early intervention for women at risk of perinatal mental health conditions.

• Participate in qualitative and quantitative data collection and storage.
• Assist the study team with the creation and dissemination of materials for project team meetings and activities.
