First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This large study tests a collaborative care model (COMPASS+) that adds a mental health care manager to regular obstetric care for pregnant and postpartum people. The care manager offers short-term therapy, tracks symptoms, and works with doctors and a psychiatrist to create personalized treatment plans. The goal is to ease depression symptoms and reduce suicidal thoughts, especially among racial and ethnic groups that often face inequities in care.
