Patient Decision Aid for Antidepressant Use in Pregnancy

"The electronic Patient Decision Aid (PDA) is an interactive website with 3 main sections:~1. Evidence-based information on (a) depression in pregnancy, (b) each treatment option and procedure;~2. (a) Evidence-based information on the risks and benefits of both untreated depression and antidepressant treatment, (b) exercises to help women determine which risks and benefits are most important to them; and~3. A summary section that outlines the information reviewed and which benefits and risks they deemed most important."

"Women allocated to the control intervention will login to the study website and receive a printable PDF containing references to standard published information on antidepressant use in pregnancy. This ensures women have access to accurate information on the benefits and risks of antidepressant medication in pregnancy (even though they will not receive the PDA).~Women who are assigned the control condition AND who are not receiving care from Women's College Hospital Reproductive Life Stages Program will receive waitlisted access to the intervention after data collected at 4 weeks post-randomization."
