Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Clinical Trials

Pregnant and postpartum patients hospitalized for medical complications experience high rates of depression, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms, yet access to timely psychiatric care during obstetric hospitalization is limited. Project MOCHA integrates early mental health screening, trauma-informed psychotherapy, and structured follow-up into routine inpatient maternity care for individuals at elevated clinical risk. This single-arm implementation study examines the feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity of delivering a Collaborative Mental Health Care Program within a high-risk obstetric inpatient setting. The program includes brief inpatient psychotherapy, symptom monitoring, and post-discharge follow-up over three months. Preliminary changes in depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and posttraumatic stress symptoms will be assessed to inform future effectiveness trials and broader health system integration.
