Improving mental health screening for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander pregnant women and mothers of young children

怀孕期间和怀孕后的心理健康对母亲和婴儿的健康都很重要。不幸的是，澳大利亚偏远地区的土著妇女有高度的焦虑和抑郁，这可能对母亲和孩子产生重大的短期和长期影响。目前，这些问题往往没有被识别出来，即使识别出来，服务机构也可能觉得没有能力解决这些问题。本研究旨在改善围产期心理健康问题的筛查，并有助于解决这些问题。

Mental health during and after pregnancy is important for the well-being of mother and infant. Unfortunately Aboriginal women in remote Australia have high levels of anxiety and depression, which can have significant short and long-term impacts on both mother and child. Currently these issues are often not identified and if identified services may not feel equipped to address them. This study aims to improve screening for, and contribute to addressing, perinatal mental health issues.
