Infants born to first-time mothers with a refugee background faced an increased risk of regulatory problems.

Aim: This study investigated the association between mothers' migration background and infant regulatory problems and analysed the mediating role of maternal mental health. We also explored whether the child's sex, parity and length of residence moderated the effect of a maternal migrant background.

Methods: Child health surveillance data from the Danish home visiting programme were used.

Disparities in postpartum depression screening participation between immigrant and Danish-born women.

Background: Qualitative studies suggest that immigrant women experience barriers for postpartum depression (PPD) screening. This study examines the prevalence of participation in PPD screening in the universal home-visiting programme in Denmark, in relation to migrant status and its association with acculturation factors, such as length of residence and age at migration.

Methods: The sample consists of 77 694 births from 72 292 mothers (2015-18) that participated in the programme and were registered in the National Child Health Database.
