Peer storytelling is promising design territory, not treatment proof
- Population and setting
- Formative research into online postpartum-depression communities.
- What was found
- Accounts suggest that stories can offer recognition, information and a sense of connection.
- Limits and applicability
- Preprint/formative evidence, self-selection and no causal PPD result. Stories may mislead, trigger or pressure readers.
- How directly does this apply?
- formative; unvalidated clinical benefit
- Gap between the study and our product
- Use consent, content choices and moderation; keep personal experience distinct from evidence.
