The Exhale Study: Treating Maternal Depression in an Urban Pediatric Asthma Clinic

Sponsor: Children's National Research Institute

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness and implementation of delivering Enhanced Brief Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT-B), an evidence-based maternal depression treatment, to mothers of children under the age of 18 in an urban pediatric asthma clinic. Researchers will compare Enhanced IPT-B and supplemented usual care (brief care coordination). The main questions the trial aims to answer are: 1. Does Enhanced IPT-B decrease maternal depressive symptoms? 2. Does Enhanced IPT-B improve child asthma management and health outcomes (exacerbations, symptoms, control)? 3. What are the preliminary implementation outcomes of delivering Enhanced IPT-B in an urban pediatric asthma clinic?

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Enhanced Brief Interpersonal Psychotherapy

Enhanced IPT-B consists of a single, 45-60-minute pre-treatment engagement session followed by eight weekly, 45-minute individual sessions carried out within an 8-12-week timeframe.

BEHAVIORAL

Supplemented Usual Care

Usual care for caregivers with depressive symptoms involves the asthma clinic physician discussing the PHQ-9 results with the caregiver, providing brief psychoeducation on depression and giving the caregiver a written list of mental health resources. Usual care will be supplemented by providing short-term care coordination. Care coordination will involve assisting the participant in calling a mental health clinic to make an appointment and one follow-up phone call within two weeks.
