Objectives

Narrative objectives1

While mental disorders are implicated in 90% of suicide-related behaviors (ACTION-J, Kawanishi et al., 2014), a report from Tokyo (Takeda, 2016) found that 61% of pregnant women and 39% of postpartum women who died by suicide had a diagnosis of "Not available" indicating that perinatal mental health issues are not being adequately detected prior to death.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

While many studies on the detection of perinatal mental health distress rely primarily on questionnaires, research and evidence regarding early detection, intervention, and suicide prevention remain limited worldwide. The aim of this study is to develop an effective gatekeeper training program for midwives to facilitate the early detection and intervention of perinatal mental health distress and to support suicide prevention practices.
