“…17,18,21,28,29–31 Covariates included maternal age, race or ethnicity (Latina, non-Latina black, and other), relationship status (married or living with partner versus other), and postpartum weight retention (pounds greater than pre-pregnancy weight). Dietary habits were assessed using a modified version of REAP (Rapid Eating Assessment for Patients), a 10-item measure that asks about a range of nutrition-related behaviors (eg, skipping breakfast, eating meals out).…”

OBJECTIVE Adolescent pregnancy is common and minority adolescents are at high risk. We sought the following: (1) to prospectively assess prevalence of antenatal depression (AND) and postpartum depression (PPD) in minority adolescents and (2) to examine the association of social support and adjustment, trauma, and stress on depression status. STUDY DESIGN A total of 212 pregnant adolescents were recruited from public prenatal clinics and administered a prospective research survey during pregnancy and 6 weeks postpartum. Depression was measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariable analyses were performed using logistic regression to assess predictors of AND and PPD. RESULTS In our cohort, 20% screened positive for AND and 10% for PPD. The strongest predictor of PPD was AND (odds ratio [OR], 4.89; P < .001). Among adolescents with trauma history, there was a 5-fold increase (OR, 5.01) in the odds of AND and a 4-fold increase (OR, 3.76) in the odds of PPD. AND was associated with the adolescent’s poor social adjustment (P < .001), perceived maternal stress (P < .001), less social support (P < .001), and a less positive view of pregnancy (P < .001). PPD was significantly associated with primiparity (P = .002), poor social adjustment (P < .001), less social support and involvement of the baby’s father (P < .001), and less positive view of pregnancy (P < .001). CONCLUSION Significant independent risk factors for PPD include AND, view of pregnancy, and social support. Trauma history was highly prevalent and strongly predicted AND and PPD. Point prevalence decreased postpartum, and this may be due to transient increased social support following the birth, warranting longer follow-up and development of appropriate interventions in future work.

“…In some cultures, risk factors associated with PPD include female gender of the baby (Patel, Rodrigues, & DeSouza, ), dissonance between tradition and modernity (Gao, Chan, You, & Li, ), and conflict with spouse or mother‐in‐law (Azar, Hashemi, & Forghani, ; Klainin & Arthur, ). Risk factors unique to adolescents include potential role conflict and social isolation (Yozwiak, ), whereas socioprofessional difficulties and early mother/infant separation place the older career mother at risk for PPD (Righetti‐Veltema, Conne‐Perréard, Bousquet, & Manzano, ). Factors identified as having protective effects against postpartum depression are polar opposites of the risk factors: low life stress (Grote & Bledsoe, ), abundant social support (Ugarriza, Brown, & Chang‐Martinez, ), and high self‐esteem (Jesse & Swanson, ).…”
