What this trial studies
This randomized, three-arm trial compares standard care to Along With Me alone and Along With Me with a Peer Guide in 300 bereaved parents. Participants receive access to a mobile app with grief-focused psychoeducation, CBT and mindfulness skills, plus periodic peer support for those in the intervention arms. Outcomes are measured at baseline and at 3, 6, and 9 months, focusing on posttraumatic stress symptoms, suicidal ideation, and related mental health factors. The study is conducted in Oregon with English or Spanish speakers and includes adults 15 and older who experienced recent loss.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If effective, the intervention could reduce traumatic stress and suicidal thoughts after pregnancy loss and provide an accessible, scalable support option.
How similar studies have gone: Related digital grief interventions have shown promise in reducing distress, but this trial tests the added value of a Peer Guide and a specific CBT/mindfulness approach.
