Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary objective of the Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) is to determine if a 9-week group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) intervention delivered online and co-led by public health nurses (PHNs) and peers added to treatment as usual (TAU) can improve postpartum depression (PPD) more than TAU alone. Peers are individuals who have previously recovered from PPD and received training to deliver the intervention. The secondary objective of the RCT is to determine if the intervention can effectively treat its common comorbidities (anxiety) and complications (parenting stress, social support, mother-infant relationship, and infant temperament) and whether the intervention is cost-effective. 170 mothers/birthing parents will take part in the study with 50% being randomly assigned to the intervention group. All participants complete online questionnaires at 3 time points: baseline (T1), 9 weeks later (T2-immediately post-intervention in the experimental group to assess effectiveness) and 6 months later (T3-intervention durability).

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants who have met the eligibility requirements and signed the consent form are randomized and allocated in a 1:1 ratio to one of two groups: Intervention (those who participate in the 9-week CBT group along with treatment as usual) and Control (continue with treatment as usual alone). Control group participants receive a list of mental health resources. Both groups complete online questionnaires at 3 timepoints: enrollment (T1), 9 weeks later (T2-post intervention for those in the intervention group) and 6 months later (T3).
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Investigators Outcome Assessors
Data analysts will be blinded. Data is deidentified and a study ID number is assigned. Research assistants following up with T2 and T3 questionnaires and phone interviews will be blinded.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Online CBT Group

Participants randomized to the Intervention group will attend a 9-week online CBT group co-led by a Public Health Nurse and a Peer (individual who has recovered from PPD and received training to deliver the intervention) in addition to receiving usual care.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Postpartum Depression (PPD)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy (talk therapy). The intervention consists of 9- 2hr sessions, the first half involves teaching and practice of CBT skills (cognitive restructuring, thinking errors, problem solving etc) followed by one hour of unstructured discussion around topics relevant to participants with Postpartum Depression (PPD) (sleep, supports, transitions, etc). Each group will be delivered by one randomly selected PHN and one randomly selected peer using our intervention manual.

Treatment as Usual

Participants randomized to the No Intervention group will continue to receive treatment as usual (standard postnatal care). A list of resources will be emailed.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
