Inclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:<br><br> - Recruitment will be conducted through Calgary Public Health's immunization program.<br> Public Health RNs routinely screen mothers for PPD during infants' vaccination<br> clinic appointments using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) at 2, 4,<br> and 6 months of age. EPDS scores>12 are indicative of probable major depression with<br> postpartum onset and make a mother eligible for our study. Approximately 500 mothers<br> per year (40/month) screen >12 on the EPDS. The investigators have agreed to support<br> a part-time Calgary Public Health staff person to review screening records and<br> contact potential participants to determine if they are willing to be contacted by a<br> the VID-KIDS Project Manager for further information about the study. If mothers<br> agree, then the VID-KIDS Project Manager will contact the mother to explain the<br> study, further assess eligibility, and if appropriate conduct the informed consent<br> procedure.<br><br>If the investigators are able to successfully invite 40% of these mothers, then the<br>investigators project that the investigators will be able to recruit at least 16<br>participants per month, giving us our sample in 20-24 months. Since the inception rate of<br>PPD is greatest within the first 12 weeks of delivery, screening mothers at these<br>strategic intervals is particularly advantageous. Moreover, Co-I McNeil and Collaborator<br>Philley (Director of Research and Director of Nursing, Calgary Public Health,<br>respectively) have successful experience with this feasible approach. Eligibility will be<br>based on 1) a cut-off of greater than 12 (indicating probable PPD) on the Edinburgh<br>Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) 20; and 2) infant aged 2-6 months at baseline. Mothers<br>will not be excluded for taking anti-depressants or using other interventions for PPD<br>(i.e., counseling, psychotherapy). However, mothers who are receiving other parenting<br>services (e.g., Circle of Security program, infant-parent psychotherapy) will be<br>excluded.<br><br>Exclusion Criteria:<br><br> - None as long as they meet Inclusion Criteria
