🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The primary objective of this study is to determine if online group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for maternal postpartum depression (PPD) added to treatment as usual (TAU) leads to greater improvements in infant emotion regulation (ER) than maternal receipt of TAU alone immediately post-treatment, 6 and 30 months later. This study will also aim to determine what mechanisms PPD treatment leads to changes in infant ER.
