What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to develop a hybrid E-zine health education intervention integrated within a mental health package specifically for perinatal adolescents experiencing depression. The study will compare the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of this digital intervention against traditional face-to-face health education provided in routine antenatal clinics. Participants will attend regular antenatal appointments while receiving additional educational content focused on climate change and its impact on mental health. The goal is to promote health and prevent disease in this vulnerable population.

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are perinatal adolescents aged 16-21 years living in the study area for the duration of the trial.
Not a fit: Patients requiring immediate medical attention or those unable to remain in the neighborhood for the study's duration may not benefit from this intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly improve mental health outcomes for perinatal adolescents by providing accessible education and support.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success with integrated health education approaches, particularly in addressing mental health issues among adolescents, suggesting potential for this novel intervention.
