This project will investigate how social marketing and social media can be used to decrease depression and anxiety, as well as increase adherence to treatment, in new adolescent mothers. In addition, the research team hopes to develop a social marketing brand as a result of their work. Cynthia Logsdon, DNS, WHNP-BC, FAAN, Professor, School of Nursing is the Principal Investigator.
