Trial Outcomes & Findings for PRogram In Support of Moms: An Innovative Stepped-Care Approach for Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics (NCT NCT02760004)

NCT ID: NCT02760004

Last Updated: 2024-06-10

Results Overview

EPDS - Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale is an instrument used to measure depression. The score range is 0 to 30. A higher score means more depressed. Depressed perinatal patients receiving care from practices enrolled in PRISM will experience more improvement in depression symptoms than patients receiving care from the MCPAP for Moms practices (2 point difference-of-difference in EPDS).

Participant Flow

Participants were enrolled from the 10 participating OB/Gyn practices from October 2017 to November 2020. The 10 obstetric practices were randomized to one of the two interventions (5 each) and patient participants from these practices provided data for evaluating the effectiveness of each intervention. Individual patient participant data were analyzed to assess effectiveness.

Of the 1265 screened, 312 met the inclusion criteria. The practices were randomized to the 2 intervention arms of the study.

Unit of analysis: OB Practices

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline up to 13 months postpartum

Population: Out of the participants enrolled in the study, data was obtained and analyzed for 118 participants in the PRISM Intervention and 117 in the MCPAP for Moms for this outcome measure. These subgroups are based on the number of Participants who had both the baseline EPDS score and a final 11-13 months postpartum EPDS score. Participants can enter at \[0 -20 weeks GA, 20-40 weeks GA or 0-12 weeks postpartum\] and this serves as Baseline. Final measurement occurs at 11 to 13 months postpartum.

EPDS - Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale is an instrument used to measure depression. The score range is 0 to 30. A higher score means more depressed. Depressed perinatal patients receiving care from practices enrolled in PRISM will experience more improvement in depression symptoms than patients receiving care from the MCPAP for Moms practices (2 point difference-of-difference in EPDS).
