Jane Goldman, a fifth year doctoral candidate in Clinical-Community Psychology at the University of LaVerne in California, is exploring the nature of pediatric social support for the postpartum depressed mother as reported by pediatricians for her doctoral dissertation. The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of what kinds of social support have been offered by pediatricians to mothers of their patients when they have suspected postpartum depression.
If you are interested in participating in her study, it will take no more than 8-10 minutes of your time. The survey consists of questions regarding the nature of past interactions with your child’s pediatrician as it pertains to you and your postpartum depression. Your participation is completely voluntary and you are free to refuse or stop at any time without penalty. If you are interested in participating, please click on the link below to begin.

If you need to reach Jane, you can call her at 323-382-8108 or email her at destrywxyz@earthlink.net. I took the survey, and I think it is great. I strongly believe that pediatricians should ask PPD screening questions of new mothers at the first well-baby visit. It will be interesting to learn the results of Jane's survey.
