Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This causal mediation study analyzes data from the ENHANCE trial to identify mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of a technology-assisted peer-delivered CBT intervention for perinatal depression in Pakistan. The research decomposes treatment effects to evaluate specific mediators, including session attendance, behavioral activation, and perceived social support. Findings indicate that perceived social support was a significant mechanism contributing to symptom improvement in the digital adaptation compared to standard face-to-face care.
