Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
Postpartum depression (PPD) is the most common mental health condition affecting birthing persons and is more prevalent in rural communities with limited behavioral health services. This quality improvement project uses the Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice to reduce the impact of PPD in rural public health communities. Interventions include integrating social support into treatment plans, expanding home visiting programs, and implementing universal screening. Evaluation measures include increased service engagement and overall symptom reduction. Target goals include a ≥20% decrease in depressive symptoms and a ≥25% increase in screenings among Medicaid-insured individuals.
