102. Should We Screen Dads for Post-Partum Depression?

December 28, 2023 • Dr. Scott • Season 1 • Episode 102

Our upcoming Journal Club episode tackles a crucial question: Should we screen dads for post-partum depression? We analyze a recent article from the Journal BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth titled "Screening fathers for postpartum depression in a maternal-child health clinic: a program evaluation in a midwest urban academic medical center" by Wainwright et. al.

While the American Academy of Pediatrics emphasizes screening moms, we explore the need to strengthen recommendations for dads. Join the conversation as we discuss the importance of proactive screening, dedicated resources, and the development of screening tools to identify unique concerns held by fathers.

Stay informed and join us on Docs2Dads for this insightful exploration! 👨‍⚕️🤝 #Docs2Dads #JournalClub #ParentingResearch #MentalHealthAwareness 🎙️
