Social Media Withdrawal in Pregnancy: Effects on Maternal Mental Health and Misinformation

Kurzzusammenfassung

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if restricting social media use with a hardware device can improve mental health and well-being during pregnancy. It will also learn about the feasibility and acceptability of this approach. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does restricting social media use lower the amount of time participants spend on social media? * Does restricting social media use improve depression, anxiety, well-being, loneliness, sleep, and physical activity? Researchers will compare participants who use a device (Brick™) that restricts social media apps to participants receiving usual care to see if the device improves social media use and mental health outcomes. Participants will: * Complete surveys about mood, sleep, and social media use, and wear/carry a smartphone app that tracks activity and sleep * Use the Brick device to restrict social media apps for 2 weeks, or continue their usual phone use * Complete follow-up surveys at the end of the 4-week study
