Prenatal life events, maternal employment, and postpartum depression across a diverse population in New York City.
This study examined racial and ethnic disparities in three postpartum depression (PPDF) symptoms and identified specific predictors. Women from the New York City area completed the 2009-2011 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System survey. White women were more likely to have PPD than African American women. Employment was also associated with PPD for white women.
