Study of a Smartphone App Providing Postpartum Support and Education for New Mothers in Pennsylvania

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate a smartphone app that provides postpartum education, symptom screening, tracking, and positive parenting support for new mothers who speak English in Pennsylvania. The study focuses on how easy the app is to use, whether it meets the needs of new parents, and if it helps improve understanding of important postpartum symptoms and positive parenting attitudes. All participants will receive access to the postpartum support app and will be asked to use it for 8 weeks. They will complete surveys about their experience at 10 days, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after enrolling. Initial baseline measurements will be collected at enrollment to compare changes over time. During the study, participants will answer questions about their knowledge of postpartum symptoms and attitudes toward positive parenting at several time points. Researchers will monitor how acceptable and feasible the app is to use throughout the 8 weeks. The study will provide insights into the apps impact and user experience over the participation period.
