What this Trial Is About
This research aims to understand pregnant women's experiences with the Reach Out, Stay Strong, Essentials for mothers of newborns (ROSE) program and to evaluate its effectiveness in preventing and reducing postpartum depressive symptoms, lowering stress, and increasing social support. The study includes two phases: a feasibility phase to test the acceptability of the intervention and an outcomes evaluation phase to measure its impact on maternal health among pregnant women attending a prenatal clinic in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. The ROSE program consists of seven sessions: six weekly group sessions delivered virtually via WebEx or at the clinic, followed by one individual session 4 to 6 weeks after delivery. Each session lasts about 60 minutes and covers topics such as psychoeducation, adjusting to life with a baby, effective communication, asking for help, and future planning. The intervention will be refined after the initial phase based on participant and staff feedback. Participants will complete questionnaires at three timepoints covering demographics, stress, social support, physical and mental health, and trauma. Researchers will monitor the acceptability of each group session, changes in postpartum depression levels, maternal stress, social support, and self-efficacy throughout the study. The total participation duration spans from the second trimester of pregnancy through several weeks postpartum, with safety and outcome measures collected at regular intervals.
