Internet-delivered Postpartum Anxiety Prevention

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Postpartum Disorder

In brief

Postpartum anxiety disorders are the most prevalent postpartum psychiatric conditions. Up to 16% of mothers experience postpartum anxiety or related disorders, such as OCD. With respect to the investigator's own community, this means that up to 3,313 women in West Virginia may struggle with postpartum anxiety or OCD. Left untreated, perinatal anxiety and OCD are associated with numerous adverse outcomes, such as maternal depression, preterm birth, impaired fetal development, low birthweight, difficulty breastfeeding, anxiety in children, and interference with parent-infant bonding. Critically, anxiety is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and substance use disorders, both significant West Virginia health disparities. Thus, there is a critical need to develop effective and scalable prevention programs to address postpartum anxiety and OCD. The purpose of this proposed community-engaged study is to develop and test the feasibility, usability, and acceptability of an Internet-delivered postpartum anxiety and OCD prevention program, called "Preventing Postpartum Onset Distress", or P-POD.
