Popis: Background Given the high incidence of perinatal maternal depression, implementation of preventive actions is crucial. In France, two prenatal preventive measures are available to the general population: early prenatal interview (EPI) and antenatal classes (ANC). Objective To explore the independent associations between EPI and / or ANC and maternal depressive symptoms at 2 months postpartum. Method We used data from the Etude Longitudinale Francaise depuis l'Enfance (ELFE), a French national representative cohort of children and their parents, followed-up from birth to early adulthood. Data concerning characteristics were collected from the mothers during the maternity stay and between 6/8 weeks’ post-partum. The level of depressive symptoms was scored by the French version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) between 6/8 weeks’ post-partum. We considered EPDS score ≥10 indicative of postnatal psychological distress (PPD) and EPDS ≥12 for postnatal depressive symptoms (PNDS). After data imputation, multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. Results Among the 16,411 mothers included in our sample, 26% benefited both from EPI and ANC, 31.1 % of ANC, 7.7% of an EPI and 35% of neither; 20,1% presented PPD and 12,1% PNDS. The likelihood of presenting PPD was significantly higher in mothers who had neither had EPI nor ANC (OR = 1.15 (95% CI : 1.01–1.30). There was no association between receiving or not an EPI and/or ANC and presenting PNDS. Conclusions Antenatal preventive measures may be helpful to prevent PPD at 2 months’ post- partum, while PNDS do not seem to be influenced by these actions.
