To effectively screen for PPD, clinicians must utilize instruments which account for context-specific factors and maintain validity across diverse populations. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is the most commonly used depression screening tool in perinatal settings, but has not been validated for use within rural American settings.
