Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a pilot, single-center, randomized controlled trial. It will

1. determine feasibility and acceptability of an evidence-based intervention for prevention of postpartum depression with antepartum patients on a high-risk obstetric unit,

2. determine what adaptations may be needed for an inpatient population

3. determine what retention strategies are most successful and acceptable for this patient population

4. estimate the effect size of an intervention for in-hospital distress, anxiety and depression

5. estimate the effect size of an intervention to reduce the risk of a post-partum depression diagnosis or depressive symptoms.

Intervention

Behavioral:
• ROSE
The ROSE (Reach Out, Stay Strong, Essentials for mothers of newborns) program is an evidence-based intervention that has been proven to reduce cases of post-partum depression among low-income and racially and ethnically diverse women. ROSE is administered to pregnant women in small group settings, typically in the same location that prenatal care is being provided (in this study, a hospital setting). It is divided into four 90-minute group sessions and teaches interpersonal psychotherapy-based skills that mitigate identified risk factors for PPD such as social support, stress management skills and communication. ROSE curriculum will be implemented using groups in a continuous cycle, with patients entering into the intervention curriculum at the time of their enrollment and continuing through until all 4 total sessions have been accomplished.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	satisfaction with ROSE behavioral health intervention	Satisfaction score will be measured using the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 (CSQ-8). The scores range from 8-32, with greater satisfaction indicated by higher scores.	14 days and 6 weeks postpartum
Other	self-reported mother-infant bonding	Mother-infant bonding will be assessed over four domains by the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ). Scores range from 0-125, with worse outcome indicated by higher scores.	6 weeks postpartum
Other	self-reported functional status	Functional status will be assessed using the Inventory of Functional Status After Childbirth (IFSAC) measure. Scores range from 36-144, with higher scores indicating better outcome.	6 weeks postpartum
Other	percentage of eligible subjects who enrolled in the study		baseline
Other	percentage of enrolled subjects who completed all inpatient study activities		14 days
Other	percentage of enrolled subjects who completed all inpatient plus outpatient study activities		6 weeks postpartum
Primary	Subject-reported in-hospital distress	Hospital distress will be measured using the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) Stress subscale. Stress subscale ranges from 0 to 42 with higher scores indicating worse outcome.	14 days
Primary	Subject-reported depressive symptom severity	Depressive symptom severity will be measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). The scale ranges from 0-30 with higher scores indicating worse outcome.	6 weeks postpartum
Primary	Subject-reported anxiety symptom severity	Anxiety symptom severity will be measured using the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) measurement scale. The scale ranges from 0 to 21 with higher scores indicating worse outcome.	6 weeks postpartum
Primary	Clinical diagnosis of depression	Diagnosis of depression will be made using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I) brief structured diagnostic interview which explores, in a standardized way, the main psychiatric disorders of Axis I of the DSM-IV TR. Only modules A and B (Major depressive episode and dysthymia) will be used. This structured interview contains questions with binary answers, with Yes indicating worse outcome.	6 weeks postpartum
