Improving education in perinatal mental health, a participatory qualitative analysis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A recent systematic review found that education programs in perinatal mental health (PMH) had limited effects on detection, referral, and support of parents with perinatal mental health problems. This participative qualitative study (i.e. co-production by academic researchers and researchers with lived experience as equal partners) sought to explore the experiences, views and priorities of persons with lived experience (PWLEs), obstetric providers, childcare health providers and mental health providers (MHPs) on education in PMH. We conducted nine focus groups and 24 individual interviews (n = 84 participants: 24 PWLEs; 30 obstetric providers; 11 childcare health providers and 19 MHPs). We used Braun & Clarke's inductive six-step process in the thematic analysis. We found some degree of difference in the priorities for education in PMH identified by PWLEs (e.g. person-centred collaborative perinatal healthcare) and providers (e.g. knowledge about perinatal mental health problems). Providers considered PMH assessment as part of their role (except for parents with suicidal ideations or serious mental illness) but reported feeling ill-prepared to do so. Organisational factors comprised PMH integration into standard perinatal healthcare and common culture between non-MHPs and MHPs. Education programs in PMH should be co-designed with PWLEs and focus on providing collaborative person-centred care for all parents.
