What this trial studies

This embedded study runs within the larger e-Perinatal trial in primary care centers in Andalusia, Spain. It assesses how feasible and acceptable it is to use an early referral pathway to specialized mental health services when signs of perinatal depression and anxiety are detected. A next goal is to validate and implement an AI-based screening algorithm in routine services. Data come from questionnaires, clinical records, and interviews with patients and health professionals. The intervention centers on a personalized mobile health program alongside standard maternal care.
