Efficacy of in-person versus digital mental health interventions for postpartum depression: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

CONCLUSION: Digital mental health interventions show promise in addressing PPD symptoms, with a potentially greater effect size compared to in-person interventions. However, the high heterogeneity observed in both modalities underscores the need for further research to identify key drivers of success and tailor interventions to diverse populations. Additionally, the choice between digital and in-person interventions should consider individual needs and preferences. Ongoing research should further investigate and optimise intervention modalities to better serve pregnant women at risk of PPD.PMID:38221725 | DOI:10.1080/02646838.2024.2303470
