Summary

This pilot study tests whether an 8-week mobile app called MOMent can help mothers who are experiencing food insecurity build coping skills and reduce stress. The app uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), including goal-setting, self-monitoring, and skill-building reflections. Participants will use the app and complete surveys about their mental health and coping. The study aims to see if the app is practical and acceptable for future, larger research.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
an 8-week mobile app behavioral intervention called MOMent that teaches coping strategies, goal-setting, and self-monitoring
What this could lead to
If the app proves helpful and easy to use, it could offer a low-cost way to support mental well-being for mothers facing food insecurity.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The app requires a smartphone, which could limit access.
