Mothers and Babies (MB) is a cognitive behavioral therapy-based program that prevents up to 50% of de novo PPD when provided in person to low-income Spanish- and English-speaking people who are pregnant without depression. MB is limited by the need for trained personnel to support it.

Article Synopsis
  • Postpartum depression (PPD) is more prevalent in pregnant individuals facing social challenges, and the Mothers and Babies (MB) program effectively lowers PPD rates but requires trained personnel to implement.
  • The goal of the study is to develop MBapp, a smartphone application based on the MB program, using qualitative feedback from target users to enhance its functionality.
  • The app's design includes features like personalized notifications, multimedia content, and gamification, and user feedback led to significant modifications, which were recorded using a systematic framework for reporting changes to evidence-based interventions.
