Perinatal Depression: Dyadic-IPT to Improve Health of Mother and Baby
Perinatal depression is a major public health problem, affecting 15% of women during
pregnancy through the postpartum period, with adverse consequences for the mother, the
fetus, the infant, and the family. Despite increasing evidence of the importance of this
critical risk interval, little research has investigated the effects of depression treatment
during pregnancy on infant outcomes. The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility,
acceptability, and effectiveness of a new intervention, Interpersonal psychotherapy for the
mother-infant dyad (IPT-Dyad). This intervention begins during pregnancy and continues with
the mother and infant until one year postpartum. The investigators hypothesize that IPT-Dyad
will be better than treatment as usual in reducing depressive symptoms, improving
psychosocial functioning,increasing parenting self-efficacy, improving infant emotional
development, and enhancing mother-infant relationship quality.
