Summary
This study looks at whether keeping mothers and their low birthweight babies together in a special care ward for longer periods (kangaroo mother care) can help prevent postpartum depression. About 1,900 mothers and infants in Zambia will be randomly assigned to either standard care or extended time in the KMC ward. Researchers will also check the babies' development and study costs and barriers to this approach.
