Kevin, Jessica Dym Bartlett, and Clarissa Valim. 2014. “Effects of an Infant-Focused Relationship-Based Hospital and Home Visiting Intervention on Reducing Symptoms of Postpartum Maternal Depression.” Infants & Young Children 27 (4): 292–304. doi:10.1097/iyc.0000000000000017.0896-3746http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:34623018Relationship-based interventions are an effective means for reducing postpartum depression (PPD), but few cost-effective tools that can be administered efficiently in medical and home settings are available or well-studied. This study examines the efficacy of the Newborn Behavioral Observations (NBO), an infant-centered relationship-based intervention, in reducing levels of postnatal maternal depression. These findings suggest that the NBO conducted in hospital and home settings may be an efficient, cost-effective, relationship-based method for reducing the likelihood of PPD symptoms.en-USJournal Article2017-06-0220142018-01-1010.1097/iyc.0000000000000017
