Summary

Perinatal depression (PND) is a common but serious complication. This single-system study examines racial, ethnic, and sociodemographic disparities in PND screening and diagnosis. Results show that historically marginalized groups are more likely to be screened but less likely to be diagnosed. These findings reveal critical inequities, underscoring the need for targeted interventions to ensure equitable care.
