Summary
This study tests a stepwise counseling model for pregnant women who screen positive for depression or anxiety. Participants are randomly assigned to either routine care or a program that starts with self-guided materials and, if needed, adds one-on-one sessions with an obstetrician. The goal is to see if this tailored approach can reduce symptoms and improve well-being for both mother and child.
