Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal Health
  • Mental Health

Background:

  • Postpartum depression (PPD) is a prevalent condition impacting maternal and neonatal well-being.
  • Universal screening for PPD is recommended but not consistently implemented.
  • Existing screening protocols may not reach all at-risk populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between maternity care provider type and PPD screening rates.
  • To examine factors influencing postpartum care attendance among pregnant individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study utilizing the Listening to Mothers in California 2018 dataset.
  • Analysis of California residents who gave birth in 2016.
  • Logistic regression models to assess associations between care provider, PPD screening, and postpartum visits.

Main Results:

  • Care from midwives was associated with a 2.6-fold increased odds of PPD screening compared to obstetricians.
  • No significant difference in PPD screening was observed for other practitioner types versus obstetricians.
  • Self-reported antenatal depression or anxiety was linked to decreased odds of attending postpartum care.

Conclusions:

  • Midwifery care is linked to higher rates of postpartum depression screening.
  • Universal screening alone may not identify all individuals at high risk for PPD.
  • Targeted interventions are needed for pregnant individuals with mental health concerns who have lower postpartum visit attendance.
