For this study, we are conducting a street-intercept survey with 160 residents across four neighborhoods at different levels of residential segregation. Data collection is ongoing. It is hypothesized that higher perceptions of noise and crime will be associated with lower sleep quality.POSTER 35THE ASSOCIATION OF POSITIVE CHILDBIRTH EXPERIENCE FACTORS WITH LOWER POSTPARTUM DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMSEMILY ODOM (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE), ANAHID AKBARYAN (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE), JULIANNA COLLAZO VARGAS (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE), LAUREN C. SHUFFREY (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE), LAUREN A. COSTELLO (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE) Postpartum Depression (PPD) is a pervasive public health issue. Building on existing research linking physically traumatic birth experiences to PPD development, our analyses examine whether psychological factors such as own capacity, participation, perceived safety, and professional support contribute to depressive symptoms after birth. Preliminary findings reveal perceived safety and professional support during birth are independently associated with lower depressive symptoms in the postnatal period, highlighting the impact of intranatal psychological care on maternal mood post-delivery.POSTER 36THE EFFECTS OF DIAGNOSTIC LABELS ON PERCEIVED SUCCESSOMEN SENNOMA (NAZARETH COLLEGE), LINDSEY LAPLANT (NAZARETH UNIVERSITY) Labels can carry negative implications. This study tested how the labels \perceived success. It was hypothesized that labels would not cause significant change in perception of success.
