Summary

This study tested whether a special education program that includes fathers can help reduce depression after childbirth. Researchers studied 388 first-time parents in Hong Kong, comparing those who received the program with those who got usual care. The goal was to see if including fathers leads to lower depression, better relationships, and higher quality of life for both parents.
