The Pregnancy and Postpartum Mental Health Optimization Virtual Intervention Network
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Depression, Postpartum, Anxiety, Pregnancy
In brief
Depression, anxiety, and related disorders such as post-traumatic stress and obsessive compulsive disorder affect about 20% of pregnant and postpartum people. When not treated properly, these issues negatively impact not only affected people, but also their children's health and development. Only 1 in 5 receive adequate treatment, so identifying new system-wide approaches to reliably deliver recommended care to perinatal mental health patients all is a crucial health care priority. The Pregnancy and Postpartum Mental health Optimization Virtual Intervention Network (MOVIN) is a scalable perinatal mental health platform building on the evidence-based Collaborative care delivery model. MOVIN's online platform allows patients to connect with a care coordinator to co-develop personalized treatment recommendations, in collaboration with their primary care clinician and a perinatal psychiatrist when needed; progress is tracked to re-evaluate.
