Perinatal MMB Trial Summary

This trial is investigating whether adding weekly phone coaching calls to the MomMoodBooster intervention, an online program for postpartum depression, will be more effective than the online program alone. The MomMoodBooster intervention contains six cognitive-behavioral modules that span six weeks, and it includes identification of pleasant activities, tracking mood and thoughts, and identification of goals.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant or postpartum veterans aged 18-50 who are experiencing symptoms of depression (PHQ-9 score ≥10). Participants must have internet or smartphone access. It's not suitable for those with a history of mania, psychosis, current hypomania, or active thoughts of suicide.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the MomMoodBooster program, an online cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention for postpartum depression. The trial compares the effectiveness of this program alone versus combined with weekly phone coaching to reinforce skills and goals over six weeks.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As this is a non-medical intervention focusing on behavioral therapy and support via technology and phone coaching, traditional side effects associated with medications are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort addressing depressive symptoms.
