Reducing the Risk for Postpartum Depression in Adolescent Mothers: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

CONCLUSION: No benefit was shown between the intervention and control groups in the rates of major depressive episode, which is likely related to a lower than predicted rate of this outcome in the control group (7.6% actual vs 25% predicted). Enhanced local community resources available to pregnant and parenting adolescents during the study period may be an explanation for this result.
