Trial Outcomes & Findings for Behavioral Change in the Mother-Infant Dyad: Preventing Postpartum Depression (NCT NCT01379781)

NCT ID: NCT01379781

Last Updated: 2024-07-03

Results Overview

* Assessing severity of depression; clinician rated * 24 questions * 13 items are scored on a 5 point scale ranging from 0=not present to 4=severe * 11 items are scored from 0-2 * A composite score is created by the sum of the scores from all items. Scores can range from 0-74 * 0-7: normal * 8-13: mild depression * 14-18: moderate depression * 19-23: severe depression * 24: very severe depression * Higher summed values indicate a greater severity of depression

Measure
Behavioral Intervention for Postpartum Depression
Behavioral Intervention for Postpartum Depression delivered over 3 in-person sessions. Behavioral Intervention for Postpartum Depression: We will select a sample of pregnant women at risk for Postpartum Depression, teach parenting skills to increase infant nocturnal sleep and reduce fuss/cry behavior to half of the sample during 3 perinatal visits.
Treatment As Usual
Referred to Treatment in the Community. Behavioral Intervention for PPD: We will select a sample of pregnant women at risk for PPD, teach parenting skills to increase infant nocturnal sleep and reduce fuss/cry behavior to half of the sample during 3 perinatal visits.
