First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a training program called DECIDE for MOM, designed to help healthcare providers better support pregnant and postpartum individuals with mental health concerns. The training teaches skills like shared decision-making and understanding patients' perspectives. Researchers will enroll 35 providers and ask them to complete a 2-hour online course, then give feedback on how acceptable and useful the training is. The goal is to see if this training can be widely used to improve maternal mental health care.
