Detailed Description

This is a 2-phase study, including a feasibility phase (Pilot, Phase 1), and an outcomes evaluation phase (Phase 2). Phase 1 tests the acceptability and feasibility of a postpartum depression prevention intervention among pregnant women attending a prenatal clinic in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. NYU research staff will be trained to implement this intervention. Based on the feedback received from women and staff in phase 1, the intervention will be modified accordingly. Phase 2 will be an outcomes evaluation to test the effectiveness of the intervention to decrease maternal stress and depressive symptoms, and increase perceived social support and self-efficacy among new mothers.
