Digital Assessment of Wellbeing in New Parents (DAWN-P)
The DAWN-P project is a feasibility study for a smartphone app to monitor perinatal mental health in women and their partners within the United Kingdom. Pregnant women (over 36 weeks gestation) and partners were recruited from antenatal services in Manchester and invited to complete daily postnatal depression assessments via the DAWN-P app until 6 weeks postpartum. All participants are aged over 18 years, fluent in English, and under the care of Manchester University NHS (National Health Service) Foundation Trust. The average age of participants was 33.8 years, and 65.2% were female.
