Identifying postnatal depression: comparison of a self-reported depression item with Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale scores at three months postpartum

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Early identification of postnatal depression is important in order to minimize adverse outcomes. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is commonly used as a screening tool but a single, direct question on depression may offer an alternative means of identifying women in need of support. This study examines the agreement between these methods and characteristics of women who self-identify as depressed and those with EPDS ≥ 13.
