About this study

Official title: PRogram In Support of Moms (PRISM): A Pilot Group Randomized Controlled Trial

The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the PRogram In Support of Moms (PRISM) that aims to improve women's access to and participation in perinatal depression treatment and thereby improve depression outcomes

Read the detailed description

Major depressive disorder continues to be the leading cause of disability among women of reproductive age and major public health concern. Upwards of 1 in 5 women suffer from depression during pregnancy or within a year after giving birth. It has negative effects on birth outcomes, infant attachment, behavior and development. Maternal suicide causes 20% of postpartum deaths in depressed women. Although the majority of women are amenable to depression screening, screening alone does not improve treatment entry or outcome. Despite the availability of effective evidence-based treatments and frequent contact with obstetric providers, less than one-third of women who screen positive for depression receive treatment. Ob/Gyn practices need supports in place to adequately address depression in their patient populations. Thus, the Investigators developed a program called "PRogram In Support of Moms" (PRISM) that aims to leverage existing roles and resources to target patient, provider, and system level barriers to perinatal depression treatment. PRISM aims to improve perinatal depression treatment and treatment response rates through: (1) access to psychiatric telephone consultation for Ob/Gyn providers; (2) clinic-specific implementation of stepped care, including training support and toolkits; and, (3) proactive treatment engagement, patient monitoring, and stepped treatment response to depression screening/assessment. Four practices were randomly assigned to PRISM versus an active comparison group called MCPAP for Moms which is a state-wide telephonic perinatal psychiatry program. The Investigators will compare the effectiveness of PRISM vs. MCPAP for Moms to improve depression severity and treatment participation in pregnancy through 3 months postpartum among patients.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Depression Severity

    To compare changes in depression severity as measured by Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) from baseline to follow-up (10-35 weeks) among pregnant and postpartum women in PRISM versus MCPAP for Moms.

    Measured: Baseline to 10-35 weeks follow-up

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Provider Fidelity

    To determine change in knowledge, attitudes, and practices as measured by S-KAP toward depression screening and treatment from baseline (pre implementation) to 1 year follow-up (post implementation) among providers in PRISM versus MCPAP for Moms practices.

    Measured: Baseline to 1 year follow-up (post intervention)

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Depression Severity (time frame: Baseline to 10-35 weeks follow-up). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02935504, which also lists 15 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
