Maya Perinatal Cognitive Behavioral Skills App for Anxiety and Depression

This study is looking at how well a new mobile app, called the Maya Perinatal Cognitive Behavioral Skills App, works for pregnant and postpartum individuals who are experiencing anxiety or depression. The app teaches skills based on cognitive behavioral therapy (a type of talk therapy) to help manage mood and anxiety. Researchers want to see if the app is easy to use and helpful for people. You might be able to join if you are pregnant or up to 12 months postpartum, are 18 or older, speak English, and have a smartphone. The study will consider it a success if participants find the app's content helpful and its design acceptable. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study planning to enroll 75 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
What's involved
Participants will complete a 12-module app over approximately 6 weeks. They will also complete app feedback questionnaires, feedback interviews, a daily symptom tracker, and symptom measures.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for about 12 weeks after starting the app.

What this trial measures

  • User Version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale (uMARS) at midpointMidpoint (approximately 3 weeks)

    The uMARS is a 27-item self-report questionnaire assessing engagement, functionality, aesthetics, information, subjective quality, and perceived impact of an app. Total scores are calculated by averaging the items together, representing an overall perceived app quality score ranging from 1 (inadequate) to 5 (excellent).

  • User Version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale (uMARS) at post-interventionPost-intervention (approximately 6 weeks)

    The uMARS is a 27-item self-report questionnaire assessing engagement, functionality, aesthetics, information, subjective quality, and perceived impact of an app. Total scores are calculated by averaging the items together, representing an overall perceived app quality score ranging from 1 (inadequate) to 5 (excellent).
