Intervention for reducing stigma and increasing help-seeking in postpartum depression: Non-clinical parenting sample

Data related to a study examining the effects of an intervention designed to reduce stigma and increase help-seeking. The data set contains data for 212 parents aged 18 to 71 years (M=36.88, 194 females). It has completed measures of personal and perceived postpartum depression (PPD) stigma and attitudes towards seeking mental health services. Random assignment to groups was employed. Results: no effects for type of intervention. Males had higher personal PPD stigma than females and older age was associated with lower personal PPD stigma. Familiarity with PPD was associated with perceived PPD stigma in others but not personal PPD stigma.
