- Abstract
The negative impact of maternal depression on both the mother and her offspring highlight the importance of managing (diagnosing/treating) maternal depression in primary care. Despite this heightened emphasis, many primary care physicians (PCPs) still fail to diagnose and treat maternal depression in their patients. To address this apparent gap between opportunity for care and actual care delivery, the present surveillance study examined the relationships among PCPs' beliefs, knowledge, self-efficacy, and perceived barriers toward and practices related to managing maternal depression.
