Description
Jacqueline A Davis and co-authors present a 2024 journal article on the lasting effects of digital wellbeing training for women around pregnancy. Mood strain in the first thousand days can harm both mother and child, and phone-based programs may teach coping skills that stick. The team revisited participants ten to twelve months after a pilot trial of such programs.
Women who joined the programs had started with higher distress than those who did not join. Fifteen follow-up interviews traced how the skills lived on. Four themes emerged: reasons to keep using the skills, taking time for oneself, emotional support, and better wellbeing, including better sleep. The authors draw lessons for digital program design.
