Clinical Implications—Our results indicate nurse-delivered screening and treatment of
postpartum women is overwhelmingly supported by this segment of US nursing professionals, and
indeed, is already occurring in many instances. Nurses who have frequent contact with women during
the perinatal period are well positioned to provide screening and treatment for PPD. To implement
the 2 part UK model (both screening and treatment), it is necessary to develop educational programs
for staff and patients, and establish screening and treatment protocols as well as referral resources
for those with such a need.
