Abstract

Perinatal non-psychotic common mental disorders (PCMDs) are less well recognised in men than in women. However, there are adverse consequences of PCMD for men, their partners and their infants. There is a need for simple, readily administered screening tools for use in research and primary health care for men, including in low income settings. The aim of this study was to validate three scales for screening PCMDs in men in northern Vietnam.
