Pilot Study of Mothers and Babies Online in Home Visiting

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Perinatal Depression

In brief

The investigators propose a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) that examines how the redesigned version of Mothers and Babies Online (eMB) can be delivered in the context of home visiting (HV) programs that serve pregnant individuals and new mothers across the United States. The PI, Dr. Darius Tandon (Northwestern University), has conducted extensive research on the in-person Mothers and Babies (MB) intervention with HV programs and has received interest from one of the largest HV models-Parents as Teachers (PAT)-to explore the use of eMB with pregnant individuals that they serve.
