Dr Alexandra Burton reports on the SHAPER-PND study exploring singing's effect on postnatal depression in new mothers
Singing has shown positive effects on maternal mood and mother–child bonding. The Scaling-Up Health-Arts Programmes: Implementation and Effectiveness Research-Postnatal Depression (SHAPER-PND) study will analyse the clinical and implementation effectiveness of a 10-week programme of singing sessions for PND in new mothers. This talk will present findings from the evaluation of an adapted online programme during the COVID-19 pandemic and describe the methods used to evaluate the main in-person programme.
