Article Synopsis
- A study in Pakistan is testing "Happy Mother Healthy Baby," a manualised cognitive-behavioural therapy for prenatal anxiety, to assess its effectiveness and delivery process through a randomised control trial.
- Qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews and focus groups, revealed that non-specialist providers can effectively deliver the intervention, which was culturally accepted despite barriers like stigma and lack of awareness about therapy.
- The evaluation suggests that including family support and culturally appropriate consent can enhance recruitment and retention, indicating that this approach can integrate smoothly into routine prenatal care.
