    • PRogram In Support of Moms (PRISM) Research Study [English and Spanish versions]
      Brenckle, Linda; Biebel, Kathleen; Byatt, Nancy (2016-09-01)
      An ongoing pilot study of PRISM (PRogram In Support of Moms) suggests that while both MCPAP (Massachusetts Child Psychiatry Access Project) for Moms and PRISM improve maternal perinatal depression symptoms, there is a greater decrease in depression severity with the additional intervention components included in PRISM. Over the next 5 years, investigators will run a randomized control trial that compares a set of 6 Massachusetts practices using MCPAP for Moms to a set of 6 practices using MCPAP for Moms plus PRISM.

    • Promoting the Health of Parents & Children: Addressing Perinatal Mental Health by Building Medical Provider Capacity Through Perinatal Psychiatry Access Programs
      Byatt, Nancy; Bergman, Aaron; Maslin, Melissa C. T.; Forkey, Heather; Griffin, Jessica L.; Moore Simas, Tiffany A. (2020-11-03)
      Mental health conditions are the most common obstetric complications of the perinatal period, impacting 1 in 5 individuals during pregnancy and the year following pregnancy. Perinatal mental health (PMH) conditions have deleterious effects on the health of perinatal individuals and their children, and are a leading and preventable cause of maternal mortality. Nevertheless, PMH conditions are underrecognized, underdiagnosed, and undertreated. To address these gaps, Massachusetts created the Massachusetts Child Psychiatry Access Program (MCPAP) for Moms to build the capacity of frontline medical providers to address PMH conditions by providing education, consultation, and resources and referrals. MCPAP for Moms has emerged as a successful and scalable model with at least 25 states or organizations implementing or developing similar Perinatal Psychiatry Access Programs. This report summarizes the Perinatal Psychiatry Access Program model and its individual and national impact.
