For the intervention phase of the sub-study, 30 women with persistent postpartum depression symptoms will be recruited to participate in the adapted virtual navigator program using rapid cycle testing over a 2-month period.

Group II: Qualitative phaseActive Control1 Intervention

The qualitative phase of the sub-study will consist of semi-structured interviews. During the semi-structured interviews, 10 eligible women will be recruited to identify barriers and facilitators to accessing virtual mental health services during the pandemic. This information will be used to adapt an evidence-based patient navigation intervention for virtual use. Investigators will also use information from this qualitative study to adapt a measure of engagement in early intervention services for use among women with postpartum depression to measure engagement with mental health services.
