Summary
This study tested a brief virtual therapy called MAPP (Mindful Adaptive Practice in Pregnancy) to help pregnant women manage COVID-19-related anxiety. 69 women participated, comparing MAPP to usual care. The goal was to see if the therapy is feasible and acceptable, not yet to prove it works. Results will guide a larger trial.
