Skin-to-Skin care tested as a shield against postpartum depression

NCT ID NCT06545760

Summary

This study is testing if letting mothers and their low-birth-weight babies stay together for extended skin-to-skin care after leaving intensive care can help prevent depression in the mothers. It will involve over 1,900 mothers and babies in Zambia, comparing a few days of this care to a longer period. Researchers will also check if the extra care helps the babies' development and is cost-effective for hospitals.
