Study Details
Postnatal Depression of Unmet Breastfeeding Goals for African American Women
(IRB#: IRB_00176280)
African American women with unmet breastfeeding goals are at a higher risk for postnatal (after birth) depression. To reduce the rates of postnatal depression and promote well-being after giving birth, it is important to understand the emotional experiences of African American women. This will help identify unmet breastfeeding goals and the support needed to reach the goals. Participants in the study will complete a 10-minute online survey. Participants will also attend a 50-minute interview using Zoom (technology used on a device such as a computer or phone). Participants will be paid for their time in the study.
