Public Health Nurse-Peer Co-Delivered Group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Postpartum Depression: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Postpartum Depression (PPD) for Postpartum Depression. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 170 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of an online 9-week group Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT; a type of talking therapy) intervention that is co-led by public health nurses (PHNs) and individuals who have previously recovered (i.e., lay peers) from postpartum depression (PPD) for treating PPD when delivered in addition to treatment as usual (TAU) compared to TAU alone. The study will also assess the impact of the intervention on common comorbidities (anxiety) and complications (parenting stress, mother-infant relationship, social support, and infant temperament) of PPD and whether it is cost-effective.
