Understanding the Needs of Parents and Providers With Mothers and Babies Online (eMB): A User Centered Approach
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Mothers and Babies Online (eMB) for Perinatal Depression. Completed, enrolled 42 participants across 6 sites.
Detailed Summary
The investigators propose a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) that examines how the redesigned version of Mothers and Babies Online (eMB) can be delivered in the context of home visiting (HV) programs that serve pregnant individuals and new mothers across the United States. The PI, Dr. Darius Tandon (Northwestern University), has conducted extensive research on the in-person Mothers and Babies (MB) intervention with HV programs and has received interest from one of the largest HV models-Parents as Teachers (PAT)-to explore the use of eMB with pregnant individuals that they serve.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
This study's intervention is called Mothers and Babies Online or "eMB", which consists of 8 sessions that correspond with key cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) elements: pleasant activities, thoughts, and social support/contact with others. Integrated throughout eMB are activities and skills based on attachment theory that emphasize how each CBT module relates to promoting a strong, nurturing connection between parent and child. eMB includes informational pages, short audio/video clips, images of infants and pregnant women, and worksheets for participants to enter personalized information in response to the lesson content. eMB is individually guided without facilitation, b) clients control the pace by which they review online content, c) and clients can review online content as many times as they like. Participants who receive eMB will also complete assessments at baseline, 1 week post-intervention, and 3 months post-intervention.
