Summary

This study tests whether a mobile app called Moment for Parents can help pregnant and postpartum women complete mental health screenings more regularly. 160 women in Michigan will be randomly assigned to use either the full app with a chatbot or a simplified version without it. The goal is to see if the chatbot makes screening feel more personal and supportive, leading to twice as many completed check-ins over 12 weeks.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Moment for Parents app with chatbot
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a chatbot-based app improves mental health screening adherence, leading to earlier detection and treatment of depression and anxiety in new and expectant mothers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (160 participants) testing adherence, not clinical outcomes. The app may not increase screening rates, and results may not apply to broader populations.
