Preferences for group psychological interventions on perinatal depression in China: a discrete choice experiment.

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
backgroundPerinatal depression (PND) is a public health issue that causes a considerable disease burden on health systems and patients' families. Group psychological interventions are intended to prevent PND. This study aimed to identify maternal preferences for group psychological interventions and provide evidence for intervention design and implementation in China.
methodsA discrete choice experiment (DCE) was conducted in southern China from January to February 2023. Based on a literature review, expert consultation, and qualitative interviews, six attributes of group psychological interventions were selected for the DCE: cost, qualification of care provider, care method (online/offline), care receiver, institution for care delivery and starting time of care. A mixed-logit regression model was used to analyze preferences, willingness to pay, and potential uptake rate.
resultsThe survey included 517 participants. They reported preferring free interventions provided by psychologists, available online and offline, with their spouses, and at the hospital where they received routine maternity care. Participants had no significant preferences for starting time of care. Inviting spouses to attend the intervention was the most valued attribute. The preferences of the different subgroups of respondents were diverse.
conclusionConsidering pregnant women's needs and preferences when designing group psychological interventions will help to increase their willingness to participate in the intervention for PND prevention. Future maternal group psychological interventions could invite spouses and other informal family caregivers to accompany them, reduce or waive fees for pregnant women through financial support, and provide online interventions for pregnant women in the third trimester and postpartum period.
