This home visiting literature review was conducted to inform the KidsFirst evaluation.

Brief presentation at the kidSKAN Connectors Forum, May 13, 2010 in Regina, Saskatchewan.

In a study to increase the identification and understanding of maternal depression, researchers realized that pregnant and postpartum women who experience depression need timely professional help and treatment, but programs to provide these services are scarce.The research team leveraged partnerships with health region decison-makers to create a new health service out of existing ones, to assist women the study identified as needing such services, and to disseminate valuable information about antenatal and postpartum depression.

This case is part of the Canadian Institute of Health Research's book "Healthier Together: The CIHR Partnerships Casebook." The full casebook is available at: http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/39503.html#9
