| dc.description.abstract | This study aimed to measure the prevalence of postpartum depressive symptoms and explore the association between different forms of social support and postpartum depressive symptoms. In this study, one-quarter of adolescent mothers experienced postpartum depressive symptoms. In multivariable analyses, parental support for girls' education and having a good female friend to confide in were associated with a decreased risk of experiencing postpartum depressive symptoms. Further, parental support and support from the child's father during pregnancy were marginally associated with a decreased likelihood of experiencing postpartum depressive symptoms. | |
