Largest Ever PPD Study...

My husband just forwarded this to me. It's the largest ever study to be done on Postpartum Depression and they are conducting the initial stage through the use of an iPhone app. I don't have an iPhone, I have an android, so apparently I can't download the app, but in any case I am a FTM and my little girl hasn't arrived yet (due any day now!). For the PPD study they are trying to get 100,000 volunteer mothers who are suffering from or ever have suffered from PPD to join their study. If you have an iPhone you can just download the app and answer some questions and then if you qualify to be a participant then they will send you a "spit kit." Here is the link to the CNN report for anyone who is interested or knows a mother who might be interested in helping them out:
