Reducing postpartum depressive symptoms among black and Latina mothers: a randomized controlled trial.

Abstract：

OBJECTIVE:To estimate the effectiveness of a behavioral educational intervention to reduce postpartum depressive symptoms among minority mothers. METHODS:We recruited 540 self-identified black and Latina mothers during their postpartum hospital stay and randomized them to receive a behavioral educational intervention or enhanced usual care. Those in the intervention arm received a two-step behavioral educational intervention that prepares and educates mothers about modifiable factors associated with symptoms of postpartum depression (physical symptoms, low social support, low self-efficacy, and infant factors), bolsters social support, enhances management skills, and increases participants' access to resources. Enhanced usual care participants received a list of community resources and received a 2-week control call. Participants were surveyed before randomization and, 3 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months later to assess depressive symptoms. The primary outcome, depression, was assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (score of 10 or greater). RESULTS:Positive depression screens were less common among intervention compared with enhanced usual care posthospitalization: 3 weeks (8.8% compared with 15.3%, P=.03), 3 months (8.4% compared with 13.24%, P=.09), and 6 months (8.9% compared with 13.7%, P=.11). An intention-to-treat repeated-measures analysis for up to 6 months of follow-up demonstrated that mothers in the intervention group were less likely to screen positive for depression compared with enhanced usual care (odds ratio 0.67, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.47-0.97; number needed to treat 16, 95% CI 9-112). CONCLUSION:An action-oriented behavioral educational intervention reduced positive depression screens among black and Latina postpartum mothers.
