What this Trial Is About

Qatar Mothers and Babies is a 4-year collaboration between Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and Sidra Medicine in Doha, Qatar that will generate and evaluate a cultural and contextual adaptation of the Mothers and Babies intervention for pregnant Arabic-speaking women in Qatar. The study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of the adapted intervention as well as its effectiveness in improving mental health outcomes among pregnant women receiving prenatal care at Sidra Medicine in Doha. Additionally, given the high prevalence of diabetes among this study population, the investigators are also interested in seeing if the Mothers and Babies interventions helps improve the management of this disease. Funded by the Qatar National Research Fund's National Priorities Research Program (NPRP), this project has the potential to guide future cultural adaptations of Mothers and Babies as well as other evidence-based interventions, and the delivery of Mothers and Babies to Arab and Arab-American women.
