Summary

This trial will study whether two interventions, MamaMeals and MamaMatters, can help reduce postpartum depressive or anxiety symptoms among women who are eligible for federal supplemental nutrition assistance programs.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking women aged 18 or older who are 20-40 weeks pregnant, experiencing food insecurity, or qualify for Medicaid, WIC, SNAP, TANF. It's not for those hospitalized for mental health in the past year, with an active eating disorder, history of social media banishment, postpartum psychosis, type 1 diabetes or severe dietary restrictions.
What is being tested?
The study tests MamaMeals (nutritious meal delivery) and MamaMatters (social support group) against a control group to see if they reduce symptoms of postpartum depression/anxiety and improve well-being and maternal/infant health among women with financial struggles related to food during/post-pregnancy.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves meals and social support rather than medication there may be minimal side effects directly from the interventions. However indirect effects could include emotional responses to social interactions.
