BACKGROUND: @entity308 is common in @entity258 pregnant @entity1 , and treatments need to be fitted to meet their needs. We conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing brief Interpersonal Psychotherapy (brief- @entity13583 ) to enhanced treatment as usual (ETAU) for perinatal @entity308 in @entity258 @entity1 . The brief- @entity13583 model is designed to better engage @entity258 @entity1 by utilizing an engagement session, providing flexible delivery of sessions, and pragmatic case management. METHODS: Pregnant @entity1 , aged >= 18, between 12 and 30 weeks gestation were recruited from an urban prenatal clinic. @entity1 scoring >= 10 on the Edinburgh @entity308 Scale and meeting @entity308 criteria were randomized to either brief- @entity13583 (n=21) or ETAU (n=21). We assessed treatment outcomes, acceptability, and feasibility of the intervention (measured by session attendance). RESULTS: @entity308 scores significantly decreased in both brief- @entity13583 and ETAU. Brief- @entity13583 @entity1 reported significant improvements in social support satisfaction as compared to ETAU @entity1 , even after controlling for concurrent @entity308 . Brief- @entity13583 @entity1 reported high satisfaction with the program. However, many @entity1 did not participate in the full 9-session course of treatment (average sessions attended =6, range 0-17). LIMITATIONS: Small sample size, use of self-report measures, and lack of an active psychotherapy control group limits interpretation of study results. CONCLUSIONS: Brief- @entity13583 for perinatal @entity308 is acceptable to @entity258 @entity1 and is helpful for improving @entity308 and social support. However, feasibility of the treatment was limited by relatively low session attendance in spite of efforts to maximize treatment engagement. Additional modifications to meet the needs of @entity258 @entity1 are discussed.
