Anxiety and depressive symptom experiences in the perinatal period: Samples of two different countries
Perinatal mental health problems, particularly anxiety and depression, affect approximately 20% of women during pregnancy or within the first year after birth, with rates up to twice as high in developing countries.

A cross-sectional survey was completed by 971 participants (Greater Accra = 503, and Northern reg…

General linear mixed model using empirical Bayesian estimates for repeated measures was used. The findings indicate an improvement in the women's …
To die is better than to tell”: Reasons for and against disclosure of chronic hepatitis B status in Ghana
Our findings highlight various reasons for and against disclosure of chronic hepatitis B status in Ghana. Because anticipated, observed, and experienced stigma were important motivations for non-disclosure of chronic hepatitis B status, we recommend the development and implementation of theory and evidence-based stigma reduction interventions that are culturally appropriate, and that prioritize the participation of target populations. We also rec…
