The comparative effects of group prenatal care on psychosocial outcomes.
This study compared the psychosocial outcomes of the CenteringPregnancy (CP) model of group prenatal care to individual prenatal care. It used a prospective cohort study of women who chose CP group or individual prenatal care. Among women with high pregnancy-specific distress in early pregnancy, group participants had an 8.3 percent greater increase in prenatal planning-preparation coping strategies in late pregnancy and a 4.9 percent greater decrease in postpartum depressive symptom scores.

Maternal depressive symptoms and attained size among children in the first 2 years of life.
The researchers evaluated the relation of maternal depressive symptoms with attained size and whether it is stronger for young children in low-income families. They found that odds of short stature were significantly increased at 6 months in the total sample and among low/middle-income families for children whose mothers reported symptoms. Other measures of attained size were not associated with depressive symptoms.

Participatory design of ehealth solutions for women from vulnerable populations with perinatal depression.
Using a participatory design approach, the Stress in Pregnancy: Improving Results with Interactive Technology group developed specifications for a suite of eHealth applications to improve the quality of perinatal mental health care. Three apps were developed by the group: an app to support high-risk women after discharge from hospital, a screening tool for depression, and a patient decision aid for supporting treatment choice.
