    Snippet: The objective of this study is to describe the longitudinal patterns of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms from pregnancy to 5 years postpartum, in a cohort of Australian mothers experiencing adversity. Longitudinal data were drawn from the control group of a trial of nurse home visiting. Pregnant women experiencing adversity (≥ 2 of 10 adversity risk factors) were recruited from antenatal clinics across 2 Australian states (30 April 2013–29 August 2014). Women completed the Depression
    Document: The objective of this study is to describe the longitudinal patterns of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms from pregnancy to 5 years postpartum, in a cohort of Australian mothers experiencing adversity. Longitudinal data were drawn from the control group of a trial of nurse home visiting. Pregnant women experiencing adversity (≥ 2 of 10 adversity risk factors) were recruited from antenatal clinics across 2 Australian states (30 April 2013–29 August 2014). Women completed the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales short-form (DASS-21) at 11 time-points from pregnancy to 5 years postpartum. DASS-21 scores were summarized at each time-point for all women and by level of adversity risk. Three hundred fifty-nine women (100%) completed the DASS-21 in pregnancy and 343 (96%) provided subsequent data. Mental health symptoms were highest in pregnancy and at 4 and 5 years postpartum. While this pattern was comparable across levels of antenatal adversity risk, women with greatest adversity risk had consistently higher mental health symptoms. In a cohort of mothers experiencing adversity, depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms were highest in pregnancy and at 4 to 5 years postpartum. The striking patterns of persistent, high, mental health symptoms, beyond the first year postpartum, can inform a more equitable and responsive health system.
