Postpartum Depression clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
Postpartum depression is a mood disorder that can affect individuals after giving birth. UCSF is conducting research to compare two types of prenatal care for those on Medi-Cal. The goal is to find out which approach better supports mental well-being during pregnancy.
Engaging Mothers & Babies; Reimagining Antenatal Care for Everyone (EMBRACE) Study
open to eligible females
This is a randomized comparative effectiveness study of two forms of enhanced prenatal care among 657 Medi-Cal eligible pregnant individuals in Fresno, California. The goal is to see whether group prenatal care with wrap around services versus individual prenatal care supplemented by services covered by the California Department of Public Health Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program (CPSP) results in less depression and anxiety, and more respectful, more person-centered maternity care and lower rates of preterm birth.
