A Systematic Review of Technology-Based Prevention and Treatment Interventions for Perinatal Depression and Anxiety in Latina and African American Women

IntroductionLatina and African American women have elevated risk for perinatal depression and anxiety but have low rates of treatment engagement. Amid significant improvements in narrowing the digital divide, the number of technology-based mental health interventions has increased. A technology-based mode of delivery is important to consider because it can increase patient engagement and should inform program development. This review aimed to assess the mode of technology used for preventing and/or treating perinatal depression and anxiety in Latina and African American women, examine symptom management, and describe participant satisfaction.MethodsWe used PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, EBSCO, and Social Services Abstracts to identify studies that used technology (e.g., smartphones) to prevent and/or treat depression and/or anxiety in Latina and/or African American perinatal women.

Abstract

IntroductionLatina and African American women have elevated risk for perinatal depression and anxiety but have low rates of treatment engagement. Amid significant improvements in narrowing the digital divide, the number of technology-based mental health interventions has increased. A technology-based mode of delivery is important to consider because it can increase patient engagement and should inform program development. This review aimed to assess the mode of technology used for preventing and/or treating perinatal depression and anxiety in Latina and African American women, examine symptom management, and describe participant satisfaction.MethodsWe used PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, EBSCO, and Social Services Abstracts to identify studies that used technology (e.g., smartphones) to prevent and/or treat depression and/or anxiety in Latina and/or African American perinatal women. To be eligible for inclusion, studies must have had at least 50% Latina and/or African American samples. The review was conducted between November 2018 and October 2019, with no set publication start date.ResultsOf 152 studies reviewed, six met the inclusion criteria.
