Overview
abstract

  • The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is an instrument designed to screen new mothers for postpartum depression. It has better reliability and validity than other self-report forms such as the PHQ-9 or the Beck Depression Scale. The EPDS has been translated into 23 languages, although not all translations have been validated. Park Nicollet has translations available in Spanish, Vietnamese, Somali, and Hmong.
