Study Summary

Anhedonia is characterized by loss of interest or pleasure. The proposed pilot study would be the first to test an innovative, neuroscience-informed intervention in mothers reporting depressive symptoms and stress to enhance positive emotionality with the goal of preventing anhedonia and associated emotional disturbances in their children. This study will recruit dyads (mothers and their children) for the intervention.

Primary Outcome

The National Institutes of Health Toolbox Perceived Stress survey consists of 10 questions with options ranging in value from 1 to 5 to assess self-reported perceived stress for children (self- and parent-report). The minimum score is 10 and the maximum score is 50, with higher values meaning greater stress. Hypothesis 1a: Children in the F-PPE group will show lower post-intervention perceived stress compared to the written information group.
