Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.

What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07483515). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Institute for Human Development and Potential (IHDP), Singapore. Recruitment status: RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 572 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Anxiety, Pregnancy, Parenting Self-efficacy, Stress (Psychology), Depression, Emotion Regulation. Interventions: BEHAVIORAL: Group B (Intervention). Primary outcome measures: Parents' Depressive Symptoms , Administered upon enrollment, once at 21-24 gestation weeks, once at 28-32 weeks, once at 37-40 gestation weeks, and postnatal 1-, 3-, and 6-months. The average of the three postnatal EPDS measurements will be used as the primary outcome assessment. Brief summary: Emotional regulation is a key component of reducing parenting stress, a sense of self-efficacy, and thus successful parenting, child outcomes, and productivity amongst working parents. However, few interventions begin building these necessary components in pregnancy prior to the extremely stressful period immediately post-partum, where little trait and behavioural modification occurs. More importantly, most interventions overlook the importance of having both partners, despite fathers/partners playing a significant role in influencing maternal stress and mood symptoms. This goal of this study is to examine whether short weekly exercises delivered through a mobile app can help first-time parents feel better emotionally during pregnancy. These exercises are designed to help people manage their emotions and stress. Researchers want to know if doing these exercises, along with getting weekly feedback and encouragement, can reduce signs of depression and improve emotional control. Expecting mothers and fathers who are having their first child may be able to join the study if they meet certain conditions. Participants should be planning to stay in Singapore for the next two years and be comfortable using a smartphone and answering questions in English. Participants may benefit from learning new ways to manage stress and emotions, which could help improve their mental health. Participants will wear a Fitbit watch to track activity. They will complete a short weekly survey about their well-being during pregnancy and a monthly survey about their work productivity until six months after the baby is born. They will also answer online surveys about their health, relationships, and background at the start, three times during pregnancy, and three times after birth. In addition, they will visit the research lab twice to take part in tasks that measure thinking and behaviour.
