Engagement in perinatal depression treatment: a qualitative study of barriers across and within racial/ethnic groups

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Women from diverse backgrounds with perinatal depression encounter individual-level, social, and clinician-related barriers to treatment engagement, necessitating care strategies that reduce stigma, offer convenience, and attend to cultural and economic factors. Our findings suggest the importance of intervention and policy approaches effecting change at multiple levels to increase perinatal depression treatment engagement.
