研究概览
简要总结
The investigators' mobile application-based community, termed Momba, will provide a bi-directional flow of information on maternal and infant mental health to traditionally underrepresented groups of mothers and their infants. The overall goal of this mobile application-based community of low-income postpartum women and infants is to increase the social support, social networks, and social capital of low-income mothers; thereby, leading to a positive change in the health behaviors, utilization of health services, and mental health status of both mothers and their infants.
