Effects on Maternal Mental Health and Parental Functioning of an Interdisciplinary Intervention to Support Women in Vulnerable Positions Through Pregnancy and Early Motherhood: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

The transition to motherhood can be particularly challenging for women with limited socioeconomic resources or mental health concerns. The FAmily Clinic And Municipality (FACAM) intervention was designed to provide additional support through health visitors or family therapists, starting in pregnancy and continuing until the child reached school age. This paper evaluates the effects of the FACAM intervention on the secondary outcomes, maternal mental health and parental functioning during the child's first year of life.
