Assessing the approach to perinatal mental health screening and treatment in maternal-child health clinics in Western Kenya
Integrating mental health care into well-attended health services, such as maternal-child health (MCH), offers a promising approach to increasing access to mental health care. To inform integration, we assessed the current approach to screening and treatment of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMAD) in MCH facilities in Western Kenya. We conducted a cross-sectional survey among the facility managers (“in-charges”) at 20 MCH facilities in Wes…
Prevalence, severity and correlates of dysmenorrhea among postpartum women in Western Kenya
Dysmenorrhea is the most common menstrual disorder globally, contributing the highest disease burden of any gynecological issue in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Yet, limited data exist on dysmenorrhea among women in LMICs, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, including countries like Kenya. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from the PrIMA-Extension Study, a large prospective cohort study that enrolled women during preg…
The role of doulas in supporting perinatal mental health – a qualitative study
With adequate support and training, doulas can play an important role in supporting their client's emotional well-being
Availability of two essential medicines for mental health in Bangladesh, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, Nepal, Malawi, Senegal, and Tanzania
Background: Access to effective mental health services in low- and- middle income countries (LMICs) is limited, leading to a substantial global treatment gap. Amitriptyline, an anti-depressant, and diazepam, an anxiolytic drug, are classified as essential medications by the World Health Organization (WHO). They are the only psychotropic medications whose availability in health facilities is documented as part of Service Provision Assessment surve…
Perinatal Depressive Symptoms and Viral Non-suppression Among a Prospective Cohort of Pregnant Women Living with HIV in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania
Depression is common during pregnancy and is associated with reduced adherence to HIV-related care, though little is known about perinatal trajectories of depression and viral suppression among women living with HIV (WLHV) in sub-Saharan Africa. We sought to assess any association between perinatal depressive symptoms and viral non-suppression among WLWH. Depressive symptomatology and viral load data were collected every 6 months from WLWH enroll…
Is there an optimal screening tool for identifying perinatal depression within clinical settings of sub-Saharan Africa
Depression is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide and the most common complication of the perinatal period. Women in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are disproportionately impacted by perinatal depression. Maternal and child health (MCH) clinics are widely attended in SSA, offering a potential access point for depression screening. Yet, selection of optimal depression screening instruments for use within MCH clinics in SSA rema…
