Sleep Patterns and Postpartum Depression in Hong Kong Mothers
Part of Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study examines whether sleep patterns can help identify mothers at risk for postpartum depression (sadness and anxiety after giving birth). Researchers will track your sleep using a wearable device to see if changes in sleep quality are linked to mood changes in the first 6 months after birth.
