Effects of a Prenatal Anxiety Randomized Controlled Trial Intervention on Infant Development in Pakistan
Objective
Given that infant development is influenced by caregiver mental health, we tested whether an intervention to reduce antenatal anxiety could affect infant development. A secondary aim was to test depressive symptoms, maternal responsiveness, and maternal infant bonding as mediators of this relationship.
Methods
Between 2020 and 2022, pregnant women participated in a randomized controlled trial of the Happy Mother-Healthy Baby (HMHB) program based on cognitive behavioral therapy. We collected data on child development from 202 intervention and 198 control participants in a public hospital in Pakistan. Child development was measured using the Ages and Stages Questionnaires-Version 3 at six weeks postpartum. Using intent-to-treat analyses, we examined whether the intervention was associated with performance on the five ASQ-3 domains. Causal mediation analysis was used to assess depressive symptoms, bonding, and maternal-infant responsiveness as mediators.
Results
Socio-demographic characteristics were evenly distributed between study arms. Intervention arm infants showed a 2.1-point increase (95% CI: 0.12, 4.17) in communication scores compared to controls. Though not achieving statistical significance, intervention infants also showed a 2.0-point increase (95% CI: −0.06, 4.09) in gross motor development performance. Bonding, depression, and responsiveness were mediators between the intervention and infant communication (Bindirect = 1.94 (95% CI: 0.86, 3.25) depression; Bindirect = 0.57 (95% CI: 0.09, 1.16) bonding; Bindirect = 0.53 (95% CI: 0.01, 1.21) and responsiveness (Bindirect = 1.94 (95% CI: 0.86, 3.25)). Bonding, responsiveness, and depression mediated 25%, 23%, and 87% of the total association, respectively.
Conclusions
HMHB positively affected infant communication at six-week follow-up. Larger studies with longer follow-up are needed to confirm and extend these findings.
