A controlled trial.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    Method. Women expecting their first or second child and designated as \u2018more vulnerable\u2019 by the Leverton Questionnaire (LQ) or Crown Crisp Experiential Index (CCEI) were allocated to a preventive intervention (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 47) or control group (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 52) by expected date of delivery to provide groups expecting their babies around the same time. Women were assessed at 3 months postnatal. An additional group of women designated as \u2018less vulnerable\u2019 (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 88) were assessed to confirm the validity of the LQ as a vulnerability measure.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    Results. Questionnaire measures of mood in first\u2010time mothers invited to the Preparation for Parenthood groups revealed significantly more positive mood than in the group receiving routine care. The median Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) score for those invited was 3, compared to 8 for those not invited (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .005). The diagnosis of depression using the Present State Examination revealed differences for both groups, though it reached statistical significance only with the first\u2010time mothers. Only 19 of the \u2018more vulnerable\u2019 invited first\u2010time mothers were \u2018borderline\u2019 or \u2018cases\u2019 at any time in the first 3 months postnatally compared to 39 of those not invited. The Surviving Parenthood groups for second\u2010time mothers were not successful.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion. Some depressions following childbirth can be prevented by brief interventions that can be incorporated with existing systems of antenatal classes and postnatal support groups.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1348\/014466500163248","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,4,29]],"date-time":"2004-04-29T18:08:01Z","timestamp":1083262081000},"page":"223-241","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":138,"title":["Promoting mental health after childbirth: A controlled trial of primary prevention of postnatal depression"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Sandra A.","family":"Elliott","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Teresa J.","family":"Leverton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marion","family":"Sanjack","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helen","family":"Turner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pauline","family":"Cowmeadow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jane","family":"Hopkins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diane","family":"Bushnell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,24]]},"container-title":["British Journal of Clinical Psychology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1348%2F014466500163248","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1348\/014466500163248","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,29]],"date-time":"2025-10-29T15:48:21Z","timestamp":1761752901000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1348\/014466500163248"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2000,9]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2000,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1348\/014466500163248"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1348\/014466500163248","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0144-6657","2044-8260"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0144-6657","type":"print"},{"value":"2044-8260","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2000,9]]}}}
