Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Text4Moms
Texts will include video links that reinforce information relevant to Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT).
|
A text messaging intervention that includes enhanced content such as tailoring, video links and a chat function
|
No Intervention: Educational Control
The control condition will be limited to texts related to pregnancy, nutrition and sleep.
We will avoid elements that have behavioral therapeutic effects.
Although this condition is meant to constitute time and attention control, we will include material on recognizing depression and links to ways to attain depression treatment and suicide hotline information.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
General Self Efficacy Scale
Time Frame: Week 4 for pre-pilot and week 8 for pilot, adjusted for baseline
|
10 item measure of self efficacy.
Items are scored 1-4, with scores ranging between 10 and 40.
A higher score indicates more self-efficacy.
Will be administered three times (for pre-pilot administered at baseline, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks; for pilot administered at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks).
|
Week 4 for pre-pilot and week 8 for pilot, adjusted for baseline
|
Patient engagement with text messages
Time Frame: 0-8 weeks
|
Percentage of participants opening >80% of text messages and clicking on >30% of links to enhanced content.
|
0-8 weeks
|
Patient engagement with chat
Time Frame: 0-8 weeks
|
Percentage of participants engaging with chat and endorsing 4 out of 5 on its utility.
|
0-8 weeks
|
Edinburgh Prenatal Depression Scale
Time Frame: Week 4 for pre-pilot and week 8 for pilot, adjusted for baseline
|
10-item continuous measure of depression.
Self-report that will be administered by computer.
Will be administered three times (for pre-pilot administered at screening, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks; for pilot administered at screening, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks).
Items are scored 0-3, with a maximum score of 30.
Higher scores show increased severity.
|
Week 4 for pre-pilot and week 8 for pilot, adjusted for baseline
|
System Usability Scale
Time Frame: Week 4 for pre-pilot and week 8 for pilot, adjusted for baseline
|
10 items rated on a 1-5 scale, with scores ranging from 0-100, with a higher score indicating greater acceptability.
Will be administered one times (for pre-pilot administered at 4 weeks; for pilot administered at 8 weeks).
|
Week 4 for pre-pilot and week 8 for pilot, adjusted for baseline
|
Secondary Outcome Measures

|
Diagnosis of a major depressive episode using the PHQ-9, the Major Depressive Disorder module of the full PHQ.
Will be administered three times (for pre-pilot administered at screening, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks; for pilot administered at screening, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks).
|
Week 4 for pre-pilot and week 8 for pilot, adjusted for baseline
|
User Engagement Scale
Time Frame: Week 4 for pre-pilot and week 8 for pilot, adjusted for baseline
|
12 items rated on a 1-5 scale, with scores ranging from 10-50, with higher scores indicating greater acceptability, with an average score of 80.3.

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)
Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?
IPD Plan Description
We welcome any interest in using or modifying the intervention materials developed under this project, which will be aided by our use of the Computerized Intervention Authoring System (CIAS) platform. Our overall plan will include presentations at national scientific meetings as well as publication of results, via reputable peer-reviewed journals and the National Library of Medicine/PubMed Central. We will deposit this dataset with the National Database for Clinical Trials Related to Mental Illness. We will indicate in publications and presentations where and how to access these data. Study materials and information regarding access to intervention content will be made available via the Open Science Framework (OSF).
Individuals who would like our data can also complete a "data analysis requisition form" that describes their specific hypotheses with mock-ups of tables. All data will be de-identified before sharing. We will make the data available under a data sharing agreement.
