Effectiveness of a web-based preventive postpartum depression programme in pregnancy, with/without telephone support: a randomised control trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates a web-based CBT program for pregnant women with subclinical to moderate depressive symptoms, comparing automated self-help and coach-supported versions against usual care. The study finds that while adding telephone coaching did not improve outcomes over the automated version alone, both forms of the intervention significantly reduced postpartum depression scores compared to usual care.
