Feasibility Trial of an Online Course (eMB) to Reduce Anxiety and Depression for Pregnant Women and Their Partners

This pilot study engaged pregnant couples experiencing elevated symptoms of maternal anxiety or depression with an existing online psychoeducation intervention, the Online Mothers and Babies Course (eMB). The study had three primary aims to assess overall feasibility; 1) explore the feasibility of delivering eMB to couples by assessing recruitment, retainment, and adherence, 2) examine eMB's preliminary efficacy for reducing PMAD symptoms, and 3) describe participants' satisfaction and perceptions about eMB acceptability. The intervention group received the 8-week eMB and the control group received an informational resources sheet.
