Patient navigation is available to participants through 12 months postpartum.
Adapted Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Participants who do not meet diagnostic criteria (Group 2a) will participate in a prevention group which includes 8 sessions based on culturally adapted CBT for Black/ of African descent populations facilitated by mental health professionals. Participants who meet diagnostic criteria (Group 2b) will participate in individual treatment which includes 12 sessions based on culturally adapted CBT for Black/ of African descent populations.
