The article, Rationale, design, and baseline data for the Healthy Mom II Trial: A randomized trial examining the efficacy of exercise and wellness interventions for the prevention of postpartum depression, examines in a randomized, controlled trial, the effect of exercise and wellness interventions on preventing postpartum depression among women at risk. The study demonstrated that it is feasible to recruit a large and diverse sample of postpartum women for an exercise intervention trial, and identified which recruitment strategies are effective and not effective for this population of women.
