Primary outcomePrimary: Change in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Depression Score — 6.70; 6.98 units on a scale — p=.85
Summary
Maternal depression influences the development of children's behavior problems and vice versa; however most interventions singularly address maternal depression or children's behavior problems rather than both. This project assesses the efficacy of an intervention that treats both mothers and children in an integrated manner. Effects are expected to disrupt the reciprocal relations that perpetuate maternal and child mental health problems over time.
