Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of ROSE in individuals with adverse childhood experiences. The main question it aims to answer is, compared to enhanced treatment as usual, does the delivery of ROSE within a collaborative care model improve depressive symptom trajectories and prevent the development of perinatal depression. Participants will be randomized to either enhanced treatment as usual or the ROSE intervention, delivered by a care manager within a perinatal collaborative care program. They will complete self-reported surveys of their depression symptoms every 4 weeks to inform their symptom trajectories. They will also complete clinical interviews to establish any incident diagnoses of a major depressive episode.

Study Arms (2)
Enhanced treatment as usual
NO INTERVENTIONThose randomized to enhanced treatment as usual will receive brief psychoeducation about perinatal depression and the associations between ACEs and perinatal depression. Information about the collaborative care program will be provided. Individuals will be followed with monthly self-reported screens for depression, without any prevention programming for perinatal depression. Those identified to have incident depression symptoms will receive recommendations for treatment within the collaborative care model.
ROSE intervention
EXPERIMENTALThose randomized to the intervention will be offered 4 group-based prenatal sessions and one individual postpartum "booster" session guided by the Reach Out, Stand Strong, Essentials for New Mothers (ROSE) program embedded within the collaborative care model. Participants will be followed with monthly self-reported screens for depression, and those identified to have incident depression symptoms will receive treatment within the collaborative care model.
Interventions
A 5-part interpersonal therapy based intervention
