This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a coordinated care model called COMPASS+ that brings mental health support directly into pregnancy and postpartum care clinics. Instead of referring patients elsewhere, COMPASS+ embeds a mental health team into your obstetric practice to monitor your mood, adjust treatment as needed, and work together with your doctors to help you feel better. The goal is to see if this approach helps more people recover from perinatal depression than the usual care approach.
About 1 in 5 pregnant and postpartum people experience depression, but very few get better with current care approaches. There are also gaps in how depression screening and treatment are offered fairly to all patients, especially people of color. This trial exists to test whether bringing mental health support into obstetric practices—rather than making patients find care elsewhere—can help more people recover and reduce these unfair differences in care.

If you join the trial, you'll receive either the new COMPASS+ services or usual care at your obstetric practice. If assigned to COMPASS+, you'll work with a behavioral health care manager who checks in on your mental health, tracks how you're doing over time, and coordinates with your obstetric doctors to adjust treatment if needed. Your care team will meet regularly to discuss your progress. You'll be eligible for these services from pregnancy through one year after birth.
