Responding to the challenge of adolescent perinatal depression (RAPiD) : protocol for a cluster randomized hybrid trial of psychosocial intervention in primary maternal care

Abstract

The project, “Responding to the challenge of adolescent perinatal depression (RAPiD)” is designed to address the need for interventions, as well as demonstrate effectiveness of interventions, for depressive disorders among adolescent mothers. The article provides a detailed proposal outline including background information and methodology of the RAPiD programme development and objectives, including conducting a comprehensive process evaluation to assess the barriers and facilitators of scaling up the intervention. Few studies have examined the effectiveness of interventions delivered to adolescents with perinatal depression. The World Health Organization estimates that up to 11% of all births worldwide are to girls aged between 15 and 19 years.
