approximately 45 minutes per subject. Data collectors
remained in the room during the completion of
the paper copy surveys in case of questions and provided
resources and referrals as needed. A medical
staff member (physician) of the research team and
the PI were available for follow-up or intervention as
needed, such as with verbalized thoughts of harm to
self or infant. Community resources focused on depression
were also provided. Following enrollment
into the study, all adolescents upon request received
printed information on parenting and newborns in
their preferred language. Questionnaires and consents
were stored separately at the PI’s academic
institution in a locked filing cabinet. Policy at the
institution requires data to be kept for 3 years.
