Summary

Postpartum depression is a very common and costly illness with numerous, long-term deleterious effects for women, their offspring and families; yet most women are not treated. Group IPT delivered virtually offers women a 1st-line, low-cost intervention that overcomes existing treatment barriers. To test its acceptability and effectiveness, a RCT will be conducted to compare virtually delivered group IPT immediately to usual care in women in Ontario Canada who have postpartum depression.
