Decolonizing the exploration of perinatal mental health screening with Indigenous Australian parents in primary care
The Indigenous community leadership and control, maintained throughout this research, have been critical. Allowing time for extensive community collaboration, fostering mutual trust, establishing strong engagement with all stakeholders and genuine power sharing has been integral to successfully translating research outcomes into practice. The codesign process ensured that innovative strengths-based solutions addressed the identified screening barriers. This process resulted in culturally sound web-based perinatal mental health and well-being assessment with embedded potential for widespread cultural adaptability.
