Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to compare a text message-based mental health and substance use screening and referral to a treatment program, called Listening to Women and Pregnant and Postpartum People (LTWP), to standard of care in-person mental health and substance use screening to look at rates of treatment attendance and retention in treatment. Participation would involve completing online questionnaires. You may be eligible to participate if you are age 18-45 years, are pregnant and entering prenatal care in one of MUSC's OB clinics, and attended a prenatal appointment at an MUSC clinic.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Aim 1: To determine differences in rates of treatment attendance and retention for Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) and Perinatal Substance Use Disorders (PSUDs) between participants assigned to LTWP, compared to SBIRT.

Aim 2: To determine differences in Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) including depressive symptoms, quality of life, substance use, and maternal functioning and well-being measured at baseline and 2, 5, 8, and 11 months postpartum.
