We describe an improvement of a flexible and easy to use program for monitoring and recording behavior durations with IBM-compatible microcomputers and a companion program that provides additional versatility for handling data. Up to 35 behaviors or events can be monitored, and processing speed is fast enough to measure even very rapidly performed behaviors. No specialized hardware is required, and the data files that are created are compatible with commercially available software packages for statistical analysis.

Mobile health interventions may provide an effective and more accessible solution for addressing perinatal mental health. Development and evaluation of a mobile mental health intervention specifically for pregnant women are warranted.
