Support preferences among women with and without postpartum depression and anxiety disorder
This study provides unique insight into postpartum women's preferences for various services and delivery modes. Results showed that women differ in their preferences for services depending on their symptoms. This should be considered when making referrals, and postpartum support should be better tailored to mothers' wishes and needs to improve help-seeking behavior and ultimately postpartum mental health.
