This project addresses the growing concern on the short-term and long-term adverse impact of COVID-19 on maternal mental health. Using 4-year longitudinal data with objective measures, this study aims to determine how maternal psychiatric encounters and diagnoses changed during the period of 2019-2022, spanning pre-, during-, and post-pandemic, respectively, compared to their other clinical encounters and compared to the baseline encounters and diagnoses (year 2019).
