The Development of PATH, a Program to Support NICU Parent Mental Health Through the Transition From Hospital to Home (NCT06467916)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The objective of this study is to develop and pilot test a telehealth-based mental health screening and engagement program that supports parents as their infants transition home from the NICU. The program will use a stepped-care approach to screen parents for depression, anxiety, and PTSD; provide a brief behavioral intervention to those who screen as having at least a low risk of these conditions; and provide a warm hand-off to community mental health services for those at medium to high risk.
