Clinical Trial Summary

Pregnant women in pregnancy week 8-29 screening positive for antenatal depression will be randomized to either choose or to be allotted by chance to different forms of diagnostic assessment; i.e. telephone, video or face-to-face assessment.

Those diagnosed with mild to moderate major depression will then be randomized to treatment with therapist-guided Internet-delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) adapted for women suffering from antenatal depression or to the same treatment with addition of up to three contacts with extra support by a midwife or experienced perinatal mental health nurse.

The primary aim is to assess whether extrasupport in addition to internet-guided pregnancy adapted ICBT decreases depressive symptoms more than internet-guided pregnancy adapted ICBT only. Secondary aims include effects of extrasupport and assessment mode on treatment satisfaction, fidelity and credibility.
