Abstract Previous studies have reported different effect sizes for self-help interventions designed to reduce postpartum depression symp- toms; therefore, a comprehensive quantitative review of the research was required. A meta-analysis was conducted to examine the effectiveness of self-help interventions designed to treat and prevent postpartum depression, and identified nine relevant randomized controlled trials. Differences in depressive symptoms between self-help interventions and control conditions, chang- es in depressive symptoms following self-help interventions, and differences in postintervention recovery and improvement rates between self-help interventions and control conditions were assessed in separate analyses. In treatment trials, depression scores continued to decrease from baseline to posttreatment and follow-up assessment in treatment subgroups. Changes in treatment subgroups’ depression scores from baseline to postintervention assessment were greater relative to those observed in prevention subgroups. Self-help interventions produced larger overall effects on postpartum depression, relative to those observed in control conditions, in posttreatment (Hedges’ g = 0.51) and follow-up (Hedges’ g = 0.32) assessments; and self-help interventions were significantly more effective, relative to control conditions, in promoting recovery from postpartum depression. Effectiveness in preventing depression did not differ significantly between self-help interventions and control conditions.The findings suggested that self-help interventions designed to treat postpartum depression reduced levels of depressive symptoms effectively and decreased the risk of postpartum depression.

Introduction
Postpartum depression refers to major and minor depressive episodes that occur within 12 months of parturition (Gavin et al. 2005). It is a common mental illness in women, with high prevalence rates ranging from 6.5 to 12.9% (Gavin et al. 2005). Postpartum depression exerts negative effects including in- creased obstetric complications in depressed mothers (Leung & Kaplan 2009), compromised mother-child relationships, and disturbed neurobiological, social, and cognitive develop- ment in infants (Brummelte & Galea 2016). Consequently, the development and validation of effective interventions and pre- ventative programs are crucial.
Despite observation of positive effects and improvements in depressive symptomatology with traditional treatments, such as antidepressant medication and individual psychother- apy, research has shown that low participation rates (5–14%) (Andersson et al. 2003; Andersson et al. 2006; Kelly et al. 2001) limit these interventions (Bijl & Ravelli, 2000).

Antidepressant medication is associated with adverse preg- nancy and neonatal outcomes. Antidepressants could exert adverse effects during pregnancy and breastfeeding on both mother and child, such as preterm birth, reduction in maternal weight gain and infant birth weight, and poor neonatal out- comes (Wisner et al. 2009). Moreover, there are other disad- vantages, such as time inflexibility, the need for health profes- sionals’ participation, and unaffordability for many women (Cowpertwait & Clarke 2013; Roness et al. 2005). Therefore, self-help interventions, which involve little burden on clinical resources, few time constraints, and accessibility for a broad range of users (Beatty & Binnion 2016), have attracted increased attention.
Self-help interventions refer to psychological interventions that patients largely complete independently at home, in ac- cordance with a standardized protocol, using written material (e.g., books, booklets), CD-ROMs, DVDs, computerized soft- ware packages, and websites (Cuijpers & Schuurmans 2007). Cowpertwait & Clarke (2013) conducted a systematic review examining web-based psychological interventions for depres- sion and showed such interventions exerted a statistically sig- nificant and moderately large effect, relative to that observed in the control condition (placebo or treatment-as-usual or waitlist), and led to a significant reduction in depressive symp- toms. Moreover, another systematic review that evaluated the clinical effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)- based, guided self-help interventions for anxiety and depres- sive disorders demonstrated the effectiveness of guided self- help at posttreatment assessment; however, this effectiveness was considerably diminished at follow-up and in clinically representative samples (Coull & Morris 2011). Furthermore, self-help interventions may be more effective for treatment rather than prevention of depression in the general population (Gellatly et al. 2007).
The effectiveness of a wide range of self-help interventions for postpartum depression has been…
