The Perinatal Mental Health pilot (PMHp) includes new and existing de-identified perinatal mental health data about mothers and non-birthing parents in the antenatal and postnatal period. The collection will include data from perinatal mental health screening conducted in public maternity hospitals, maternal and child family health clinics and general practice clinics. It includes patients’ self-reported responses to a range of established and validated clinical tools.
