eROSE Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether e-ROSE, a weekly scheduled group chat, is effective in reducing post-partum depression compared to ROSE, a weekly in-person group, and two control groups.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant individuals between 20-35 weeks along, who are at risk for postpartum depression. They must be English-speaking and receiving prenatal care at certain practices. Eligible participants may have a low income, anxiety or mild to moderate depressive symptoms during pregnancy, a history of depression treatment, gestational diabetes, or be aged 18-21.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of two apps: InBloom and ROSE in preventing postpartum depression among pregnant people at risk. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these interventions or control groups and followed from mid-pregnancy through three months after birth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral interventions delivered via electronic apps rather than medications, traditional side effects are not expected. However, users might experience discomfort if sensitive topics are discussed.

eROSE Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: women receiving InBloom appExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Group II: electronic health record utilization dataActive Control1 Intervention
We will leverage EHR utilization data by retrospectively identifying 152 people from the same clinics who did not receive ROSE or InBloom and matched for eligibility criteria, demographics and PPD risk factors using propensity scores, and comparing their utilization to those in the ROSE and InBloom groups.
Group III: women receiving ROSE as usualActive Control1 Intervention
Group IV: historical controls- no treatmentActive Control1 Intervention
We will capitalize on data from a large ROSE trial which consists of a demographically similar sample by comparing depression diagnosis outcomes for Inbloom and ROSE to the 96 participants in the care as usual group (an educational pamphlet on PPD).
