Summary

This study compares a text message-based mental health and substance use screening program (Listening to Women & Pregnant and Postpartum People) to standard in-person screening. Over 10,000 pregnant and postpartum people will participate. The goal is to see if the text-based approach increases treatment attendance and retention, and reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
text message-based screening and remote care coordination
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make mental health and substance use screening more accessible and effective for pregnant and postpartum people, leading to better treatment engagement.
What could go wrong
This is a large but early-stage behavioral study, so results may vary by clinic and population. The intervention relies on text messaging, which may not work for everyone.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Aim 1: This study is a cluster RCT step wedge design so we are randomizing on the clinic level, not the individual level. The clinics are made up of 4 "wedges" (3 clinics/wedge). Pregnant women receiving prenatal care in these clinics will receive SBIRT as part of usual care. Clusters of clinics will be randomized to an LTWP start date where they will transition from SBIRT to LTWP for the purposes of screening and referral to treatment. EHR Data Collection (PPP): Inclusion: 1. Age 18-45 2. pregnant and entering prenatal care in one of MUSC's OB clinics 3. attended a prenatal appointment at an MUSC clinic Exclusion: a.) primary language is not English or Spanish Aim 2: Study Assessments at baseline and 2, 5, 8, and 11 months postpartum (PPP): Inclusion: 1.
