Outcomes of Mindful Mood Balance for Moms, online mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for perinatal depressive relapse prevention in the USA: a two-arm, single-blind, pragmatic randomised clinical trial

Background

Effective and accessible approaches to prevent depressive relapse and reduce symptoms are crucial for addressing the major public health problem of depression among perinatal women. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Mindful Mood Balance (MMB) for Moms plus usual care (hereafter MMB for Moms)-a web-based mindfulness-based cognitive therapy programme customised for perinatal women-compared with usual care only, in reducing depressive relapse and symptoms.
