Maternal depression has a recurring course that can influence offspring outcomes. There is limited evidence about how to treat maternal depression to improve longer term maternal outcomes and reduce intergenerational transmission of psychopathology using task-shifted, low-intensity scalable psychosocial interventions. We sought to fill this gap, evaluating the effects of a peer-delivered psychosocial depression intervention on maternal depression and child development at 3 years of age. Forty village clusters in Pakistan were randomly allocated to treatment or enhanced usual care (EUC). Pregnant women aged 18 years or over screening positive for moderate or severe depression symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) score 10+) were recruited into the trial (n=570) and a non-depressed cohort was also enrolled (n=584). Primary outcomes were maternal depression symptoms and remission (PHQ-9<10) and child socioemotional skills (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire- Total Difficulties (SDQ-TD)/. Analyses were intention-to-treat. The trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02658994. At 36-months postnatal, complete data were available from 889 mother-child dyads: 206 treatment (72.5%), 216 EUC (75.3%), and 467 prenatally non-depressed (80.0%). We did not observe significant outcome differences between treatment and EUC arms of the trial (PHQ-9 total score: Standardized Meand Difference = −0.13, 95% CI −0.33 to 0.07; PHQ-9 remission: RR= 1.08, 95% CI 0.88 to 1.33; SDQ-TD treatment estimate: −0·10; 95%CI −1·39, 1·19;). Approximately 40% of women did not complete their treatment sessions, and competence levels of peers dropped over time. Reduced symptom severity and high remission rates were seen across both arms, possibly masking any treatment effects. A multi-year, psychosocial interventions can be task-shifted via peers but are susceptible to reductions in fidelity and dosage over time. Early intervention efforts might need to rely on multiple models (e.g. collaborative care), be of greater intensity, and potentially targeted toward higher risk mothers to reduce the intergenerational transmission of psychopathology from mothers to children.
