BEHAVIORAL

Peer support

Mothers allocated to the peer support group had access to all of the standard community postpartum services in addition to having received telephone-based support from a peer volunteer (a mother who has previously experienced, and recovered from, postpartum depression and has participated in a 4-hour training session). Telephone contact with a new mother was initiated within 48 to 72 hours of trial enrolment and then as frequently as the dyad deemed necessary; a minimum of four contacts were required.
