Adapting a postpartum depression prevention program with and for Black women in Georgia using human-centered design

Principal Investigator: Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes

This pilot project aims to adapt ROSE with and for women in Georgia. The ROSE (Reach Out, Stay Strong, Essentials for mothers of newborns) program is an evidence-based PPD prevention program recommended by the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). To guide the adaptation process, we will co-create a novel human-centered design (HCD) framework rooted in traditional HCD frameworks and enhanced to support the planning of adaptations that promote equitable and respectful program implementation.
