Does Enhancing Maternal Peer Interactions Decrease Rates of Postpartum Depression?

Subjects in the intervention group will be asked to attend one peer group between four and eight weeks postpartum. Peer groups will be expected to last approximately one hour. Each peer group will include 5-10 new mothers. A facilitator will be present for these groups, but the hope is to have mothers discuss with each other their postpartum experience and activities of their newborn at home.
