Pregnant asylum seekers' perspective on mental health screening: A qualitative study
Pregnant asylum seekers are often marginalized and underserved and experience high rates of psychiatric disorders. Our participants considered mental health screening in the perinatal period acceptable and necessary. Further research should focus on the implementation of the RHS-15 as a screening tool for perinatal care in this population.
