PM4M Intervention Impact on Maternal Mental Wellbeing in Zambia

53 women caring for children under two years old provided feedback on a psychosocial intervention in Lusaka from May to August 2023. This qualitative dataset, nested within a larger clinical trial, explores the impact and implementation barriers of the Problem Management Plus for Moms (PM4M) program. The study underscores the program's potential effect on Common Mental Disorders in Zambian mothers.
