Results showed successful identification of a predictor and two moderators, leading to effective prediction of the optimal treatment for individuals and improved treatment outcomes during follow-up. Long-term PAI predictions differed from predictions for acute benefit, with potential implications for enhancing precision medicine in the long term treatment of depressed individuals.

Summary: This review evaluates the effectiveness of prenatal provider-based interventions that reduce stress for pregnant people, especially those who are disproportionately affected by stress. The identified provider-led stress-reducing prenatal interventions include skills-building, mindfulness, behavioral therapy, and group support. The findings suggest that completing provider-based stress-reducing interventions, especially group-based therapies that integrate various approaches, can improve mood and reduce maternal stress. However, the efficacy of each type of intervention varies depending on the specific type of maternal stress. Evaluation: 8 points

Under routine practice conditions, CBASP and MCT were equally beneficial for individuals with depression.
