Is Validating the Cutoff Score on Perinatal Mental Health Mood Screening Instruments, for Women and Men from Different Cultures or Languages, Really Necessary
Background : The most commonly used mood screening instrument in perinatal health is the Edinburgh Depression Scale. The screen-positive cut-off score on this scale, as for others, has been determined, via validation techniques, for over 20 languages/cultures, and for both women and men. While such validation appears to be considered essential, there are studies that could be interpreted to suggest that this is not an important consideration. Met…
Screening for mood difficulties in men in Italy and Australia using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the Matthey Generic Mood Questionnaire
Calls to screen for men's emotional health during the perinatal period have been increasing in recent times, given that emotional health screening for women is now well embedded in many clinical services. Although the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) has been used for women, and also validated for men, a recent examination of this measure showed that it may not be ideal for men (or women). This study screened expectant fathers with the…
Social Withdrawal Behavior in Infancy
This article reviews the studies using or validating the Alarm Distress Baby Scale (ADBB; A. Guedeney & J. Fermanian, ) within different countries, different populations, and different settings. After a brief summary of the theoretical backgrounds of infant social behavior, the results of the main controlled and methodologically comparable studies are summarized and discussed. Second, the results of some observational studies as well as different…
A Description of the Modified Alarm Distress Baby Scale (M‐adbb)
This article introduces the m‐ADBB , a modified version of the Alarm Distress Baby Scale (ADBB; A. Guedeney & J. Fermanian, ) used to screen for infant social withdrawal. Social withdrawal can be an indicator of several factors, including infant depression. A brief description is given of various studies that have shown that infants’ behavior, as rated on the ADBB, is associated with poor maternal and paternal mental health as well as with later …

Assessing the social behavior of infants
Infants can show a range of social behavior when interacting with their main caregiver. Previous work has demonstrated that when the caregiver is depressed, the infant may demonstrate withdrawn behavior not only to this person but also to others. This pilot study used a relatively new assessment tool, the Alarme Distress de Bebe Scale (ADBB; Guedeney and Fermanian, 2001), to assess the social behavior of 44 infants during a routine physical check…
The SMILES Program
The Simplifying Mental Illness + Life Enhancement Skills program, for children with a mentally ill parent or sibling, is a 3-day program that aims to increase children's knowledge of mental illness and to better equip them with life skills considered beneficial for coping in their family. Self-report data from 25 children who attended 3 of these programs, in Canada and Australia, indicate that these aims were achieved. Their parents also report b…
Adherence to Cultural Practices Following Childbirth in Migrant Chinese Women and Relation to Postpartum Mood
Chinese women (N = 102) who had migrated to Sydney, Australia, were interviewed about traditional cultural practices they had followed in the first six weeks of the postpartum period. The majority (90.2%) of these women had adhered to some form of practice, with the most frequent being eating warm ('yang') food (78%), following confinement for one month (55%), and using warm water for washing themselves (19%). Of note was that 18% of these women …
Validation of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale for men, and comparison of item endorsement with their partners
Paternal and maternal depressed mood during the transition to parenthood
Parent-infant classes in the early postpartum period
Preparation for parenthood classes traditionally focus mainly on childbirth and are aimed particularly at women. Fathers (n = 193) who attended these classes were interviewed when their infant was 6 weeks old, and 31% stated that they would have liked more information on caring for the infant, either at the antenatal classes or postpartum. At 6 months postpartum, 77.9% of these fathers said they would have, or might have, attended a class with th…
