- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <br> 1. Depressive symptoms measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) at baseline and 5 weeks<br> 2. Self-belief in infant care capabilities measured using the nine-item Maternal Efficacy Questionnaire (MEQ) at baseline and 5 weeks. Each item was rated on a 4-point Likert-type scale from 1 (not good at all) to 4 (very good), with potential total scores from 9 to 36.<br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method PPD knowledge (knowledge of facts and belief in myths about PPD) was measured at baseline and 5 weeks using a non-standardized measure created by the PI (available on request from mmsampson@uh.edu). Nine questions were on the measure and were generated from information posted on the NIMH website and common beliefs the PI had heard from her previous work. Examples include, Please answer True or False to the following question: Having postpartum depression means you are a bad mom” and Please answer True or False to the following question: Postpartum depression is just a medical term in America and does not happen in other countries.” Higher scores (scored between 0 and 9) represent higher levels of PPD knowledge.
