Abstract
Paternal postpartum depression is associated with negative outcomes for men, children, and their partners. Using a mixed-methods design, the proposed study will evaluate the usability, feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of an online adaptation of the Fathers and Babies (FAB) intervention designed to decrease depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms in fathers.
