Summary

This study will provide information about the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of a biobehavioral self-management approach for perinatal depressive symptoms. This line of research will contribute to the body of knowledge about adjunctive therapies for depressive symptoms in pregnancy, a serious problem which contributes to poor maternal-child outcomes. Ultimately, this will contribute to the development and implementation of theoretically driven depression prevention/ resiliency building interventions and measurement of appropriate biobehavioral outcomes to determine the effectiveness of interventions.

Detailed description

The investigators longitudinal mixed-methods study will use a one-group repeated measures intervention design coupled with qualitative methods to provide a comprehensive view of the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of the MOMS intervention. Semi-structured interviews, recruitment and retention numbers, and participant logs will be used to evaluate feasibility and acceptability of the intervention (Specific Aim 1). Recently collected archival comparison group data from an existing study will be used to contribute to explorations of preliminary effects of the intervention by comparing longitudinal psychobehavioral data, birth weight data (Specific Aims 2 and 3).
