OBJECTIVE: @entity308 in @entity258 , ethnic-minority @entity1 of childbearing age is prevalent and compromises @entity1 and @entity1 development. Yet numerous barriers prevent treatment delivery. Listening Visits (LV), an empirically supported intervention developed for delivery by British home-visiting nurses, could address this unmet mental health need. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluated the effectiveness of LV delivered at a @entity1 's usual point-of-care, including home visits or an ob-gyn office. METHOD: Listening Visits were delivered to depressed pregnant @entity1 or mothers of young @entity1 by their point-of-care provider (e.g., home visitor or physician's assistant), all of whom had low levels of prior counseling experience. Three quarters of the study's @entity1 were @entity258 . Of those who reported ethnicity, all identified themselves as minorities. @entity1 from 4 study sites (N = 66) were randomized in a 2:1 ratio, to LV or a wait-list control group (WLC). Assessments, conducted at baseline and 8 weeks, evaluated @entity308 , quality of life, and treatment satisfaction. RESULTS: @entity308 severity, @entity308 , and quality of life significantly improved among LV recipients as compared with @entity1 receiving standard social/health services. @entity1 valued LV as evidenced by their high attendance rates and treatment satisfaction ratings. CONCLUSIONS: In a stepped model of @entity308 care, LV can provide an accessible, acceptable, and effective first-line treatment option for at-risk @entity1 who otherwise are unlikely to receive treatment.
