The Stony Brook University Calm-Mom Study
July 28, 2023 updated by: Brittain Lynn Mahaffey, Stony Brook University
An Internet-Delivered Mind-Body Program for Reducing Prenatal Maternal Stress
The present trial will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of 2 different internet-delivered programs for prenatal maternal stress.
The Stress Managment and Resiliency Training Program (SMART-Mom program), an 8-session Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) based mind body program and the Mama Support Program, an 8-session social support group program.
Sixty pregnant women (<20 weeks Estimated Gestational Age) will be screened and either enrolled in the online SMART Mom Program or the Mama Support Program.
Outcomes, including maternal perceived stress, depression, and anxiety will be assessed at post-treatment, three, and six months post program completion.
Potential impact on infant health outcomes will be assessed via post-delivery electronic medical record review.

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Aim 1: The investigators will conduct a randomized clinical trial (RCT; n=60) to assess the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of the Stress Management and Resillency Training program (SMART Pregnancy) delivered online versus a time and attention matched prenatal support group (Mama Support).
It is expected that SMART-pregnancy participants will demonstrate high levels of treatment engagement and adherence.
It is predicted that participants in the SMART-Pregnancy condition will demonstrate improvements in emotional distress and stress regulation (as indexed by hair cortisol concentrations) at post-treatment and 3 month follow-up.
Aim 2: The investigators will conduct a postnatal chart review to explore secondary treatment benefits including pre-and postnatal maternal health and birth outcomes.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention
Participants (n = 30) will be randomized to receive the SMART Pregnancy stress management program via an online portal.
|
SMART Pregnancy is an 8-session online stress management program offered in a group format.
SMART Pregnancy is an adaptation of the Stress Management and Resiliency Training Program (Park et al., 2012).
|
Active Comparator: Treatment as usual
Participants (n = 30) will be randomized to receive treatment as usual, including referrals to community based support groups and individual mental health providers.
|
Participants will be enrolled in an 8-week time and attention matched, process-based support group.
