Scoping review of preventive interventions for postpartum depression to inform policy and planning
Overview
This scoping review synthesizes evidence from forty-four systematic reviews to identify preventive interventions for postpartum depression and inform healthcare policy. It outlines four primary policy options: establishing social support, empowering women through education, providing professional home visits, and delivering remote web- or phone-based interventions. The resource is intended for policymakers and healthcare planners seeking context-sensitive strategies to address psychosocial, psychological, and biological risk factors.
