Abstract

Perinatal depression is a serious public health issue among African American adolescents who experience significant racial health disparities in addition to age-related mental and physical health risks. Perinatal depression prevention interventions that specifically target the needs of African American adolescents are warranted. The current study presents the development and preliminary results of an intervention designed to prevent perinatal depression among African American adolescents using the heuristic framework for cultural adaptations. Adaptations were applied to an existing evidence-based cognitive behavioral group intervention to develop the Mothers and Babies Course for African American Adolescents. Adaptations were guided by qualitative data collected from a focus group and individual interviews, and by existing research on specific risk and protective factors that drive engagement with and barriers to interventions for this population. The adapted intervention was piloted with 7 pregnant and 21 postpartum African American adolescent students at four different public high schools in an urban city in the United States. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was used to assess pre- and post-intervention perinatal depression scores. Accessibility and feasibility were assessed using participant and observer evaluations, respectively. Results indicated reductions in pre- to post-intervention depression scores and high acceptability and feasibility of the pilot study. Additional adaptations of the intervention based on qualitative feedback from study participants are discussed. Future development and implementation of the intervention provides an opportunity to reduce a mental health disparity that disproportionately affects African American adolescents.
