A Pilot Trial of the Reach Out, Stay Strong, Essentials for Mothers of Newborns (ROSE) Postpartum Depression Prevention Intervention in Pregnant Patients Admitted to Strong Hospital

"The ROSE (Reach Out, Stay Strong, Essentials for mothers of newborns) program is an evidence-based intervention that has been proven to reduce cases of post-partum depression among low-income and racially and ethnically diverse women.~ROSE is administered to pregnant women in small group settings, typically in the same location that prenatal care is being provided (in this study, a hospital setting). It is divided into four 90-minute group sessions and teaches interpersonal psychotherapy-based skills that mitigate identified risk factors for PPD such as social support, stress management skills and communication.~ROSE curriculum will be implemented using groups in a continuous cycle, with patients entering into the intervention curriculum at the time of their enrollment and continuing through until all 4 total sessions have been accomplished."
