Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a social media-based parenting program can improve responsive parenting among mothers with Postpartum depression (PPD) symptoms. Participants will be randomized to receive the parenting program plus online depression treatment or online depression treatment alone to assess target engagement. Our overall objective for this application is to study whether this program combined with online depression treatment leads to more responsive parenting (target) and signals improved child language, socioemotional and cognitive development (outcomes) compared to depression treatment alone.
