Summary
This trial aims to see if a mental health program, adapted for Chinese immigrants in Canada, can help pregnant women. The program is based on the Thinking Healthy Program and is available through a mobile app.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for Chinese immigrant pregnant women over 18 years old, living in Canada, who are at least 22 weeks pregnant and speak Mandarin. It's not suitable for those who don't meet these specific criteria.
What is being tested?
The study tests a mobile app delivering the Thinking Healthy Program (THP), which uses cognitive behavior therapy and behavioral activation to support mental well-being during and after pregnancy.
What are the potential side effects?
Since THP involves psychological support through an app, there may be no direct physical side effects; however, emotional discomfort or distress while engaging with therapy content could occur.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Adapted THP groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will be invited to complete three modules relevant to the health and well-being of mothers and fetus/infants during the perinatal period, through an Android based app on their mobile device.
In addition, each section incorporates the three healthy thinking steps to help the mother negotiate each of the three areas.
After the introductory session, each session involves four tasks that mothers are required to complete. The tasks include 1) a review of the key message from the previous section, 2) a review of the mood chart, 3) engaging in the three steps to thinking healthy on the designated area for the section, and 4) practicing suggested activities between sessions.
