Tim Grigsby (Social and Behavioral Health) co-published a paper on "Major Depression in Postpartum Women during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Can Social Support Buffer Psychosocial Risks and Substance Use?" in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.

The study’s aims were to examine the prevalence of major depressive disorder (MDD) in postpartum women during the COVID-19 pandemic, and evaluate whether social support can buffer the associations between MDD, psychosocial factors (perceived stress, generalized anxiety, and intimate partner violence) and substance use (alcohol and drug use).
