Funded Activity Summary

Depression in recent mothers are very common; more than 53,000 new mothers in Australia are affected by this each year. The condition can lead to serious adverse consequences for a mother’s health and the health of her infant and family. Effective strategies to prevent and reduce maternal depression are therefore needed. We will test whether support by telephone from other mothers (peer volunteers) helps in women at increased risk at 4 weeks postpartum.
