- Smith, D. C., Munroe, M. L., Foglia, L. M., Nielsen, P. E., & Deering, S. H. (2010). Effects of deployment on depression screening scores in pregnancy at an Army military treatment facility. Obstetrics & Gynecology, 116(3), 679. doi:10.1097/aog.0b013e3181eb6c84
- Surveys were completed by 3,956 female Active Duty Soldiers or pregnant spouses of Soldiers at an initial obstetric visit. Participants completed surveys at 28-32 weeks gestation and again at 6-8 weeks postpartum. Results were used to examine the relationship between positive depression screening and spouse deployment status. The risk of a positive depression screen more than doubled in those whose spouse was deployed during the 28-32 week gestation period compared to those with a spouse not planning to deploy.
