Food insecurity decreased during the study period with median scores of 11.5 and 2.0 for the intervention group compared to 12.0 and 9.0 for the control group at baseline and 6 months postpartum, respectively (see Table Measured scores and linear mixed modelHFIAS scores by categories of food securityMedian PHQ-9 scores for the intervention group decreased from 8.5 at baseline to 3.0 at 6 months postpartum, and in the control group median scores decreased from 6.5 to 5.0 between baseline and 6 months postpartum. The overall decrease in PHQ-9 scores for both groups was significant at 6 weeks and 6 months postpartum (PHQ-9 scores by categories of depressive symptom severityMean PSS scores decreased (indicating decreased stress) across the intervention period. For the intervention group, scores decrease from 17.9 at baseline to 12.6 at 6 months postpartum and for the control group scores decreased from 15.8 to 15.1 between baseline and 6 months (there was no statistically significant decrease or difference between groups, see Table
