iCARE Self-Guided Digital Intervention for Postpartum Depression in Danish Mothers: Formative Research Using User-Centered Design
Overview
This paper outlines the formative development process for iCARE, a self-guided digital intervention designed for Danish mothers experiencing mild to moderate postpartum depression. The resource details the use of user-centered design methods, including stakeholder interviews and prototype testing, to create a program incorporating psychoeducation, cognitive behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment principles. It is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in the design and theoretical framework of digital mental health tools rather than as a direct clinical guide.
