Summary

This study tests whether a 10-week remote skills program based on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) can help pregnant women with high emotional distress better manage stress and improve their heart rate. About 100 participants will complete surveys, interviews, and heart rate checks at three clinic visits. Some will also attend weekly group sessions and track their mood daily. The goal is to see if better emotion regulation leads to healthier pregnancies.
