Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Eligible participants are randomly assigned to the same BA treatment for perinatal depressive and anxiety symptoms in one of four arms: 1) In-person specialist; 2) Telemedicine specialist; 3) In-person non-specialist; 4) Telemedicine non-specialist. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, recruitment was adjusted as below:
- March 2020-July 2021: For the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic period participants were only randomized 1:1 to 1) Telemedicine non-specialist; 2) Telemedicine specialist.
- July 2021 to January 2022: Randomization of participants to all 4 arms resumed, using a raking approach (weight ratio of 3:1 favoring In-Person to Telemedicine), to rebalance the arms.
- January 2022 to April 2022: In light of the COVID-19 Omicron variant, participants were only randomized 1:1 to 1) Telemedicine non-specialist; 2) Telemedicine specialist.
- April 2022 to present: Randomization of participants to all 4 arms resumed at all sites (ratio 1:1:1:1) to 1) In-person specialist; 2) Telemedicine specialist; 3) In-person non-specialist; 4) Telemedicine non-specialist. Randomization to all 4 arms will be followed until in-person arms are fully enrolled after which randomization 1:1 to the two telemedicine arms will be followed. A flexible study design was established at each site based on site-specific COVID restrictions.
This approach was verified by the study statistician, an independent methodologist and the study funder. All analyses will be run as both intent-to-treat and per protocol.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Depressive symptoms: Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) mean score
Time Frame: 3-months post-randomization
|
The perinatal depressive symptoms are measured by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale.
The minimum and maximum values for the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale are 0 and 30 respectively.
Higher scale scores are associated with higher perinatal depressive symptoms.
The assessment period is extended to account for post-treatment outcomes when there are interruptions to treatment (e.g., giving birth, obstetrical complications and COVID-19 related events).
|
3-months post-randomization
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Depressive symptoms: Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) mean score
Time Frame: 6- and 12-months post-randomization
|
The perinatal depressive symptoms are measured by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale.
The minimum and maximum values for the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale are 0 and 30 respectively.
Higher scale scores are associated with higher perinatal depressive symptoms.
The assessment period is extended to account for post-treatment outcomes when there are interruptions to treatment (e.g., giving birth, obstetrical complications and COVID-19 related events).
|
6- and 12-months post-randomization
|
Anxiety symptoms: Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) mean score
Time Frame: 3-, 6-, 12-months post-randomization
|
The anxiety symptoms are measured by the Generalized Anxiety 7 Item Questionnaire.
The minimum and maximum values for the Generalized Anxiety 7 Item Questionnaire are 0 and 21 respectively.
Higher scale scores are associated with higher perinatal anxiety symptoms.
The assessment period is extended to account for post-treatment outcomes when there are interruptions to treatment (e.g., giving birth, obstetrical complications and COVID-19 related events).
|
3-, 6-, 12-months post-randomization
|
Child Mental Health Development
Time Frame: 6 to 24 months post child birth (extended due to COVID-19)
|
Child mental development is measured by Bayley Mental Developmental Scale IV and the provision of psychosocial stimulation by the mother measured by Home Observation Measurement Evaluation.
Cognitive development, expressive and receptive language scores are measured by Bayley Mental Developmental Scale IV.
The composite scores are scaled to a metric, with a mean of 100, standard deviation of 15, and range of 40 to 160.
Higher scaled scores are associated with higher mental health development in child.
The minimum and maximum values for the Home Observation Measurement Evaluation scale scores are 0 and 45 respectively.
Higher scores are associated with more enriched environment.
