Behavioral Change in the Mother-Infant Dyad: Preventing Postpartum Depression
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Behavioral Intervention for PPD for Postpartum Depression. Completed, enrolled 54 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Postpartum depression (PPD) is undertreated and the consequences of this are substantial for women and children. Studies show that infant cry/fuss and sleep behavior are associated with PPD, and that parenting interventions can change infant behavior, yet these findings have never been applied to PPD. In this study, the investigators are teaching parenting skills to increase infant nocturnal sleep and reduce fuss/cry behavior to women likely to develop PPD to see if the investigators can prevent the onset of this disorder.
