We are looking for postnatal mothers to help test this new program.

FOMOS is a home-based program which supports healthy eating, physical activity and sleep using a combination of digital strategies (website, text messaging, social media) and provision of home exercise equipment.

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

mother with a child between two and 12 months old;

living in selected postcodes from VIC, NSW or SA;

experiencing some postnatal depression (PND) symptoms;

able to communicate fluently in English;

have or are willing to create an Instagram account.

What’s involved?
You will wear an activity monitor on your wrist for seven consecutive days at three time points and complete four online surveys, spread out over the duration of the intervention and follow up.

You will be randomised to an intervention or control group (which receives part of the intervention after data is collected).

You may receive free home exercise equipment and a range of digital resources and support for six-months.

What are the benefits of joining this study?
Access to evidence-based resources to support healthy eating, physical activity and sleep in the postnatal period.

Potential to have free home exercise equipment.
