'Happy that someone cared'-Non-native-speaking immigrant mothers' experiences of participating in screening for postpartum depression in the Swedish child health services.

Thirteen mothers were interviewed, so the findings are experiences, not a measure of how common they are. Only mothers screened without signs of postpartum depression by nurse assessment were included, so mothers already identified as at risk were not studied. Still, almost one-third of participants reported symptoms during the research interview, showing the screening may not have captured their distress. The study was in Swedish Child Health Services, so other health systems may work differently. Mothers came from five countries and spoke different languages, but the sample was small and may not represent all immigrant mothers. The first author had pre-understanding of the context, which could bias interpretation.

No conflicts of interest were declared. Funding was from the National Society for Paediatric Nurses, Region Skåne, Challenges of Migration, and the Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare.

Do not read these themes as evidence that the screening tool detects postpartum depression well or that the recommended changes improve care. This was a small interview study of mothers' experiences, not an effectiveness study.
