Efficacy of Brief Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for Perinatal Anxiety

At baseline, participants will complete several interviews and questionnaires online and via phone to determine psychological history, current functioning, history of trauma, coping styles, and demographic variables.

ACT is a cognitive-behavioral therapy that seeks to promote psychological flexibility. The active comparator is the Supportive Control. Two phone coaching sessions will occur 2- and 4-weeks post-intervention in both conditions.

The follow-up assessments at 34-36 weeks pregnancy and 4-weeks postpartum will be completed via REDCap, an online secure survey platform in order to reduce participant burden.

The follow-up assessment at 8-weeks postpartum will be completed via phone.
