It measures if BRIDGE can reduce maternal depression and improve child mental health more effectively than other interventions over a 16-week period.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves psychological therapy programs rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort when discussing personal issues during sessions.
