This is a randomized controlled trial with an intervention of Center M compared to treatment as usual. Center M consists of weekly digital one-hour group sessions led by a trained therapist aligned with mindfulness based cognitive therapy. Changes in perinatal depression symptoms will be compared between groups.
The study is a randomized control trial (RCT) with two parallel arms, 1) an intervention arm: Center M added to treatment as usual (TAU), defined as standard prenatal care, and 2) a control arm: TAU, again defined as standard prenatal care. As both groups will be obtaining services through the Center for Women's Health at OHSU, offered standard prenatal care is expected to be similar in both arms. The study will be masked to the PI, Co-I's, consultants, and anyone directly collecting or analyzing study data. Primary prenatal care providers will also be masked to subject assignment.

In addition to standard prenatal care, participants will participate in Center M sessions, which are weekly one-hour digital group sessions led by a therapist. Each group will include 3-6 participants. The Center M session structure aligns with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy by including mental well-being, core mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy skills, in-session practice of skills, and home practice skills. Center M content teaches skills that increase capability for effectively navigating general life stress and the unique stresses of pregnancy and parenting.
