Telehealth Intervention for Maternal Mental Health

Participants must (a) identify as a mother (i.e., biological, adoptive, foster, step-mother, or another type of woman-identifying primary caregiver), (b) have a child between 6 and 18 months old at recruitment, (c) be 18 years old or above, (d) reside in Manitoba, Canada, with access to a cellular network, (e) score > 9 on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 Item (PHQ-9) [35 (link)] and/or the General Anxiety Disorder-7 Item (GAD-7) [36 (link)], (f) complete a psychodiagnostic mental health assessment (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview; MINI) [34 ] and pre-intervention survey before randomization, (g) meet criteria for a major depressive episode and/or anxiety disorder (i.e., panic disorder, agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder, or generalized anxiety disorder) as assessed by the MINI, (h) be available to attend weekly telehealth groups, and (i) be comfortable understanding, reading, and speaking English. Exclusion criteria include: (a) a suicide attempt in the past year, (b) self-harm in the past 6 months, and/or (c) clinically significant psychotic symptoms, posttraumatic stress disorder, or alcohol/substance use disorder (identified on the MINI 34 ) which, based on clinical judgement, would make it unlikely for the individual to attend weekly group telehealth sessions and/or make treatment gains. The BEAM and MoodMission programs are not suitable to treat these acute mental health needs and as such mothers deemed ineligible for these reasons will be provided with local mental health resources more appropriate for their needs.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
