Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of this pilot project is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and mental health impact of OULA for women with postpartum depression (PPD).
Detailed Description
The proposed project is a pilot two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT), with specific aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of implementing an RCT of OULA (named after Missoula, MT) for the treatment of postpartum depression, and to explore between-subject changes in postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety following 8-weeks of OULA or waitlist control.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Feasibility and acceptability
Time Frame: 7 months
Feasibility will be evaluated using recruitment, retention, OULA attendance, and treatment completion data, amd intervention fidelity. Feasibility of recruitment will be assessed through the number of participants eligible for randomization, proportion of participants randomized relative to the total number of referrals, and number of participants enrolled each month. Feasibility of intervention will be evaluated through treatment completion and retention rates, Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM) will be used at intervention completion. Fidelity assessment will be measured by OULA instructors completing an self-evaluation checklist. Women in the OULA group will complete the 8-item Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) will be collected at week 8. Acceptability will be assessed through reasons for withdrawal. Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) and Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) will be collected at week 8.
Secondary Outcomes
- Changes in postpartum depression(7 months)
- Changes in postpartum anxiety(7 months)
