Summary

This trial will evaluate the effectiveness of the ROSE program in helping pregnant women with post-partum depression, stress, and social support.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant women at least 18 years old in their second trimester receiving care at the Sunset Park Family Health Center. Participants must understand English or Spanish, be able to consent, and have mild depressive symptoms as indicated by a score of 4-12 on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale or record two or more ACEs.
What is being tested?
The ROSE Program is being tested for its effectiveness in preventing and reducing postpartum depression symptoms, decreasing stress levels, and increasing social support among pregnant women during their prenatal period.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the ROSE Program involves non-medical interventions such as education and support, traditional side effects associated with medications are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort discussing personal topics.
