The Staying Well Study: An Open Trial of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for the Prevention of Perinatal Depression

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pregnancy, Depression, Postpartum Depression

In brief

Pregnant women with histories of depression are at high risk of depressive relapse during the perinatal period, and options for relapse prevention are limited. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) has strong evidence among general populations but has not been studied among at risk pregnant women. This study is the first phase of a multi-phase project adapting MBCT for perinatal women (MBCT-PD). It is being conducted in a collaboration between the University of Colorado, Emory University, and Kaiser Permanente at Colorado and Georgia.
