Integrated Maternal Psychosocial Assessment to Care Trial (IMPACT)

Mental Health | Edmonton

Emotional health problems are the most common complication in pregnancy.
However, in Canada, emotional health care is not part of routine prenatal care. As a result, only 1 in 10 pregnant Canadian women get help when they need it. 80% of women who develop postpartum depression or anxiety had symptoms when they were pregnant. But, usually they are not identified and helped.

This study trials a model of perinatal care: screening, referral and 6 online CBT learning modules.
We want to know if this type of care:
 Reduces stress, depression, anxiety symptoms in pregnancy.
 Improves infant health and development.
 Reduces the risk of postpartum depression.
