ROSE Program for Preventing Postpartum Depression

This study, called ROSE in Sunset Park, is looking at a program designed to help pregnant women prevent and reduce symptoms of postpartum depression (PPD). The program, called ROSE (Reach Out, Stay Strong, Essentials for mothers of newborns), includes six group sessions and one individual session after birth, all conducted online. The sessions cover topics like adjusting to life with a baby and effective communication. Researchers want to see if the ROSE program is acceptable to pregnant women and if it can help lower stress and increase social support. You may be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, pregnant in your second trimester, receive prenatal care at the Sunset Park Family Health Center for Women's Health and Pediatrics, and speak English or Spanish. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status.
