Objective:

To examine changes in depressive symptoms across pre-specified participant subgroups in a postpartum depression preventive intervention.

Approach:

Key Findings:

• Minority participants exhibited larger mean decreases in QIDS scores compared to non-minorities.
• First-time mothers receiving the MB intervention had lower mean QIDS scores at 24 weeks postpartum than multiparous mothers.
• Trends in QIDS scores were similar but not statistically significant across language and education subgroups.

Interpretation:

Limitations:

• Previous postpartum depression prevention trials lacked subgroup analyses due to sample size constraints.
• The study's findings may not be generalizable to all populations.

Conclusion:
