Integrated Maternal Psychosocial Assessment to Care Trial (IMPACT)
Summary
Emotional health problems are the most common complication in pregnancy.
However, in Canada, emotional health care is not part of routine prenatal care. As a result, only 1 in 10 pregnant Canadian women get help when they need it. 80% of women who develop postpartum depression or anxiety had symptoms when they were pregnant. But, usually they are not identified and helped.
This study trials a model of perinatal care: screening, referral and 6 online CBT learning modules.
We want to know if this type of care:
Reduces stress, depression, anxiety symptoms in pregnancy.
Improves infant health and development.
Reduces the risk of postpartum depression.
