Abstract

Evidence indicates that with training, providers of maternal care at primary care levels can offer effective treatment for perinatal depression conditions which impact women’s health and child care. The scaling up care for perinatal depression for improved maternal and infant health (SPECTRA) aim is to reduce the burden of perinatal depression and improve maternal and child health. System-level barriers and facilitators to the delivery of effective intervention for perinatal depression have been identified. The presentation for the West African Health Organization (WAHO) workshop suggests approaches to the dissemination of information through community leaders, service users and caregivers.
