New study tests ROSE program to stop postpartum depression before it starts
NCT ID NCT04940585
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a program called ROSE, which includes six group sessions and one individual session for pregnant women. The goal is to see if it can prevent postpartum depression, reduce stress, and increase social support. About 308 pregnant women receiving care at a specific clinic will take part. The program covers topics like adjusting to life with a baby, effective communication, and planning for the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ROSE program (a series of 6 group sessions plus an individual session focused on psychoeducation, communication, and planning)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide an effective, scalable way to prevent postpartum depression in at-risk pregnant women.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, single-site study testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply broadly. The program may not significantly reduce depression compared to usual care.
