Measure
Screening - Scrolling Layout
Participants were asked to complete the following surveys using an iPad in the waiting area of antenatal clinics: Demographic information survey; Whooley questions; and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. All questions were presented on a single screen. This means that participants had to scroll vertically to answer all the questions.
Screening - Paging Layout
Participants were asked to complete the following surveys using an iPad in the waiting area of antenatal clinics: Demographic information survey; Whooley questions; and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Only one question was displayed on the screen at any given time. This means that participants had to navigate through multiple pages in order to answer all the questions.
Retrospective Plus Momentary Assessment
Participants in this group were asked to download and install an app onto their own smartphones. After that, they were be asked to complete a sampling protocol consisting of 6 consecutive days, once a month for 6 months. During the 6 assessment days, participants were required to complete the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, 5 momentary questions on a 5-point pictorial scale, and 2 contextual questions.
Retrospective Assessment
Participants in this group were asked to download and install an app onto their own smartphones. After that, they were asked to complete a sampling protocol consisting of one day a month for 6 months. The assessment days consisted of a single administration of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: One-off assessment immediately after recruitment

This outcome was only measured in the Screening - Scrolling layout and in the Screening - Paging layout groups. Median scores on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale according to group allocation. The EPDS consists of 10 questions each rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3 points. Overall scores are obtained by adding the scores of all the individual questions, and range from 0 points to 30 points. Overall scores of 0 to 9 points suggest a low risk of perinatal depression. Overall scores between 10 and 12 points suggest an increased risk of perinatal depression. Overall scores of 13 points or more suggest that the respondent is likely to have met the diagnostic criteria for perinatal depression. Moreover, scores of 1 point or more on question 10 of the EPDS ought to be explored further as this question deals with ideas of self-harm.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: One-off assessment immediately after recruitment

This outcome was only measured in the Screening - Scrolling layout and in the Screening - Paging layout groups. Time elapsed (in seconds) between the participants starting to read the basic instructions on how to complete the survey questionnaires and the participant completing the EPDS. These actions will be indicated by participants pressing the Start button on the device screen and when a message acknowledging that they have completed the survey questionnaires is displayed on the device screen. This component will be broken down further into the individual survey questionnaires that participants will be required to complete (i.e., personal demographic information, Whooley questions, and EPDS). In addition, we will account for the time that participants spend experiencing problems, distractions or making requests for help or clarification.
