Racial, ethnic, and neighborhood disparities in diagnosis of perinatal psychiatric illness
One in five women in our study was diagnosed with perinatal psychiatric illness. Our stratified findings were inconsistent with previous reports of higher symptom burden in women of color. Neighborhood deprivation has differential impact depending on race/ethnicity, highlighting the importance of accounting for sociocultural variables when analyzing prevalence.
