Peer Administered CBT for PPD

Summary

Postpartum depression (PPD) affects up to 20% of women and has profound effects on mothers and their infants. Unfortunately, fewer than 15% of women with PPD receive evidence-based care. This is at least partly due to significant difficulties faced by women in accessing cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a preferred 1st line treatment. In Ontario at present, there is a significant lack of personnel trained to deliver CBT. This study will utilize a randomized controlled trial design (with wait list controls) and recruit 70 participants to determine if women with a past history of PPD (i.e., lay peers) can be trained to deliver effective group CBT to women with current PPD. If peers can be trained to provide effective CBT, more women would receive treatment and the burden of PPD on women, families, and the healthcare system would be significantly reduced.
