Mapping the contextual mental health interventions for perinatal adolescent mothers with self-reported common mental symptoms (anxiety and depression) in sub-Saharan African countries: a scoping review

Abstract

Introduction: Early preventive interventions may support adolescent mothers’ mental health during the perinatal period. However, adolescent maternal mental health interventions have received little empirical research attention. This scoping review maps the evidence on interventions appropriate for adolescent mothers during the perinatal period in Sub-Saharan African countries.
