About this study

Official title: For Moms: Culturally Relevant Treatment Services for Perinatal Depression

The study will evaluate the effectiveness of a culturally relevant, multi-component intervention for antenatal depression. The intervention includes an engagement session, and the woman's choice of brief interpersonal psychotherapy and/or pharmacotherapy in a stepped care treatment for depression model.

Read the detailed description

The randomized control trial will evaluate the effects of a culturally relevant, multi-component intervention for antenatal depression. MOMCare has the potential to overcome patient, provider, and system-level barriers to care and engage depressed, low-income women in evidence-based treatments to reduce antenatal depressive symptoms, improve maternal psychosocial functioning, and ameliorate postpartum depression. Specific Aim 1: To evaluate the impact of MOMCare on treatment engagement and retention. Specific Aim 2: To evaluate the impact of MOMCare on maternal clinical symptoms and functional outcomes. Specific Aim 3: To conduct an incremental cost-effectiveness analysis for a health care and welfare agency perspective that includes a) tracking the medical costs of health service use in MOMCare and usual care patients; b) monitoring the use of infant preventative health services in both groups; and c) tracking the percentage of women on Medicaid and the percentage working in both groups.

The intervention will be assessed through a practical randomized controlled trial in which we have recruited 168 pregnant women with major depression and/or dysthymia who were on Medicaid and/or received Maternal Support Services (MSS) in selected public health centers in Seattle - King County (PHSKC). Patients who were eligible and consented to study enrollment were randomly assigned to either usual care (UC) or MOMCare. Baseline and four follow-up assessments (3 - 18 months post-baseline) are scheduled for study participants in both groups. The MOMCare intervention includes a choice of brief interpersonal psychotherapy or collaborative management of antidepressant medication. Treatment response will be monitored, and the treatment will be adjusted as necessary (adding treatments, increasing dosages).
