Descripción detallada
The Family Help- MOM: Managing Our Mood Program is to deliver, primary care mental health services to mothers in the comfort and privacy of their own home. The purpose of this randomized control trial is to test the effectiveness of the Managing Our Mood (MOM) postpartum depression distance treatment program. This study is a single-centre trial based at the IWK Health Centre, similar to other Family Help Modules.
The goal of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the MOM cognitive-behavioural intervention as an alternative treatment for women suffering from postpartum depression. The intervention is delivered at a distance, using educational materials (handbooks, video-tapes/DVDs, and telephone consultation with a trained paraprofessional coach. Family Help coaches deliver consistent care based on written protocols, with on-going evaluation by a professional team. MOM is not designed to replace specialist care of complex multi-problem mothers.
Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either active MOM treatment or to the Best Efforts control condition. Those participants assigned to Best Efforts receive printed information about postpartum depression that describes the illness, how it is caused and various treatment options; they are assigned a Coach who books their assessments and is available to answer any questions; they are encouraged to maintain contact and regular care with their family physician or public health nurse for both themselves and their baby. At the end of the 12-month follow-up (one year from randomization), these women will be offered the opportunity to take part in the MOM treatment if they are still depressed.
