Digital health technologies for peripartum depression management among low-socioeconomic populations: perspectives from patients, providers, and social media channels.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPeripartum Depression (PPD) affects approximately 10-15% of perinatal women in the U.S., with those of low socioeconomic status (low-SES) more likely to develop symptoms. Multilevel treatment barriers including social stigma and not having appropriate access to mental health resources have played a major role in PPD-related disparities. Emerging advances in digital technologies and analytics provide opportunities to identify and address access barriers, knowledge gaps, and engagement issues. However, most market solutions for PPD prevention and management are produced generically without considering the specialized needs of low-SES populations. In this study, we examine and portray the information and technology needs of low-SES women by considering their unique perspectives and providers' current experiences. We supplement our understanding of women's needs by harvesting online social discourse in PPD-related forums, which we identify as valuable information resources among these populations.
methodsWe conducted (a) 2 focus groups (n = 9), (b) semi-structured interviews with care providers (n = 9) and low SES women (n = 10), and (c) secondary analysis of online messages (n = 1,424). Qualitative data were inductively analyzed using a grounded theory approach.
resultsA total of 134 open concepts resulted from patient interviews, 185 from provider interviews, and 106 from focus groups. These revealed six core themes for PPD management, including "Use of Technology/Features", "Access to Care", and "Pregnancy Education". Our social media analysis revealed six PPD topics of importance in online messages, including "Physical and Mental Health" (n = 725 messages), and "Social Support" (n = 674).
conclusionOur data triangulation allowed us to analyze PPD information and technology needs at different levels of granularity. Differences between patients and providers included a focus from providers on needing better support from administrative staff, as well as better PPD clinical decision support. Our results can inform future research and development efforts to address PPD health disparities.
