Center M: Digital Health Innovation Pilot
Purpose
Center M is a digital health solution to Perinatal Depression (PD) which provides an alternative to Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy - Perinatal Depression (MBCT-PD). Center M shifts treatment to a telehealth model, reduces the number of sessions, and transitions home practice materials to a digital format. This study will include a clinical trial in which participants will be randomized to the Center M treatment with smartphone app delivery of homework compared to treatment as usual (TAU).
