New moms get help for depression and drinking in pilot study
NCT ID NCT07485036
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a 6-week program that combines problem-solving therapy with small rewards can help new mothers feel less depressed and drink less alcohol. About 30 mothers who gave birth in the last year will take part. Half will get the program, and the other half will not, so researchers can compare the results.
