Acceptability and Utility of a Digital Group Intervention to Prevent Perinatal Depression in Youths via Interactive Maternal Group for Information and Emotional Support (IMAGINE): Pilot Cohort Study

We developed a digital adaptation of MB for the prevention of perinatal depression in youths, named Interactive Maternal Group for Information and Emotional Support (IMAGINE) [34]. In this paper, we present a mixed methods evaluation of a pilot study of the IMAGINE intervention, assessing the uptake, acceptability, and utility of IMAGINE. We conducted a single-arm pilot study with pre-post mixed methods evaluation.

A Social Media Group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Intervention to Prevent Depression in Perinatal Youth: Stakeholder Interviews and Intervention Design

Adaptation occurred through a series of collaborative meetings, including the study principal investigator (KR), research assistant (AG), intervention facilitator (KD), and community member advisor (MJB). Additional input was sought from other coauthors, including a researcher who led previous MB trials (DT). We conducted a descriptive content analysis of all 21 IDIs, focusing on characterizing perinatal youth’s mental health challenges, facilitators, and the potential role of a social media intervention.

An Interactive Text Messaging Intervention to Improve Adherence to Option B+ Prevention of Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission in Kenya: Cost Analysis

Based on these data, SMS text messaging has been identified as a recommended intervention to promote ART adherence by the World Health Organization [8]. In 2016, the Ministry of Health (MOH) of Kenya rolled out a mobile health (m Health) service “Ushauri” in 105 facilities to manage appointments and deliver standardized messages and reminders to patients with HIV, which was shown to be a promising strategy in improving viral suppression and retention in routine HIV care [9].

You Will Know That Despite Being HIV Positive You Are Not Alone: Qualitative Study to Inform Content of a Text Messaging Intervention to Improve Prevention of Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission

These findings, combined with the growing ubiquity and low cost of mobile phone technology in regions most affected by HIV, have led the World Health Organization to include SMS text message reminders as a recommendation for promoting adherence to ART as part of a package of adherence interventions [11].

Texting Condolences: Adapting mHealth Programs After Unexpected Pregnancy and Infant Outcomes

Messaging needs to be culturally appropriate, accurate, and reflect realities to be a credible resource that has positive impact on maternal and child outcomes. An unanticipated challenge we faced during a recent m Health randomized controlled trial (RCT), Mobile WACh (Mobile Solutions for Women’s and Children’s Health) [NCT01894126], was responding to the high number of neonatal and infant deaths, stillbirths, or miscarriages.
