What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The purpose of this research study is to find out about ways to enhance well-being during pregnancy and the postpartum period (after the baby is born). The "Mamma Mia" program and/or guided support from study staff ("Mamma Mia Plus") may be helpful because the app provides skills and information related to many important topics during and after pregnancy. This study will allow us to learn more about whether and how the program is helpful to women.

Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.

How does the Mamma Mia App treatment differ from other treatments for perinatal wellness?

The Mamma Mia App is unique because it leverages mobile technology to support perinatal wellness, focusing on user engagement and personalized content delivery, which is not typically a feature of traditional treatments. This app-based approach allows for continuous support and self-management, which can be more accessible and flexible for users compared to standard in-person interventions.12345

What data supports the effectiveness of the Mamma Mia App for Perinatal Wellness treatment?

The research suggests that mobile health apps can be effective in supporting health-related behaviors during pregnancy and postpartum, such as managing weight and improving physical activity. This indicates that similar apps, like Mamma Mia, could potentially help with perinatal wellness by providing accessible and personalized support.25678
