Comparing In-Person vs. Virtual Support for Preventing Postpartum Depression
This study is testing two ways to deliver the ROSE Program (Reach Out, Stay Strong, Essentials for New Moms), a group-based support program designed to prevent postpartum depression. One group will receive the program in person, and another will receive it virtually through telehealth. Both versions cover topics like building social support, improving communication, and understanding the transition to motherhood. The goal is to see if the virtual ROSE Program works as well as the in-person version. You may be able to join if you are a woman, 18 years or older, speak English or Spanish, and are less than 30 weeks pregnant. Researchers will measure success by looking at your depression symptoms at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after birth. The study is currently recruiting participants.
