What this could mean

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

Active substance: Internet-delivered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (ICBT) course
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a convenient, accessible treatment option for anxiety and depression in new and expecting parents.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-phase study (60 participants) without a control group, so results may not be generalizable. The intervention is self-guided online, which may not work for everyone.
