Understanding Uptake of Digital Treatments: Help Shape the Future of Perinatal Mental Health Care

The Parent-Infant Research Institute (PIRI) is inviting health professionals who work with women during the perinatal period to take part in the Understanding Uptake research study.

Perinatal mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety, affect many new and expecting mothers. However, most women do not receive treatment for these problems due to difficulty accessing face-to-face care. Evidence-based digital treatments can help fill this gap, yet they are not routinely offered in most healthcare settings. This study seeks to understand why, by surveying clinicians about the factors that limit them from using digital treatments in their practice.

This information will guide the implementation of digital treatments into healthcare settings, to reach more mothers in need. 

Participation involves a short, anonymous 5-minute online survey.
