Online 1-Day CBT-Based Workshops for PPD
Postpartum DepressionPostpartum depression (PPD) already affects up to 1 in 5 women and left untreated costs $150,000 per case over the lifespan. Under normal conditions, just 10% of women with PPD get evidence-based treatment, a situation that has worsened substantially during COVID-19. The purpose of this study is to a assess if self-referred, online adaptation of a 1-Day Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)-Based Workshop for PPD delivered up to 30 women at a time can lead to reductions in PPD, if the workshops are cost-effective, and to assess workshop impact on common complications of PPD (anxiety, partner relationship discord, problems with mother-infant attachment). 388 women will be randomized to receive either immediate treatment or treatment 12 weeks later (waitlist control). Study measures will be collected at baseline (immediately before treatment workshop) and 12 weeks later (immediately before wait list control workshop).
Mother-Infant Intervention for Postpartum Depression and Associated Mother-Infant Relationship Dysfunction...
Postpartum DepressionMaternal depression and mother-infant relationship dysfunction have reciprocal effects on each other. An integrated approach addressing both problems simultaneously may improve outcomes. Perinatal Dyadic Psychotherapy (PDP) was developed to prevent/decrease postpartum depression and facilitate optimal mother-infant relationships. The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of PDP. Depressed first-time mothers (meeting diagnostic criteria for depression and/or with high depression symptom levels) and their 6-week-old infants will be randomized to receive either the PDP intervention or a control condition. The PDP intervention consists of 8 home-based, nurse-delivered mother-infant sessions consisting of (a) a supportive, relationship-based, mother-infant psychotherapeutic component, and (b) a developmentally based infant-oriented component focused on promoting positive mother-infant interactions. Control mothers will receive usual care plus depression monitoring by phone. Data will be collected at baseline, post-intervention, and 3 month follow-up. Assessments included maternal depression (diagnosis and severity), maternal anxiety (diagnosis and severity), parenting stress, and mother-infant interaction.
