Summary

The current study aims to test a brief computer-assisted intervention (psychoeducation + skills) for pregnant women with elevated PTSD symptoms. In this open trial pilot feasibility study, 20 pregnant women in their first trimester will be invited to participate in the study if they endorse elevated PTSD symptoms. Oxytocin and cortisol will be measured at baseline, one month post-intervention, three months post-intervention, and post-delivery to inform the relationship between these hormones, PTSD symptoms, and peripartum/postpartum outcomes. In addition to receiving the psychoeducation + skills intervention during their first trimester, women will be offered a "booster session" intervention following delivery to enhance utilization of skills during a critical period for maternal mental and physical health outcomes.
