Abstract
BACKGROUND: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a significant mental health problem that is common in primary care and often under-recognized and under-treated. METHODS: We developed an educational website (www.step-ppd.com) to give primary care providers easy access to up-to-date information on PPD and evidence-based approaches for assessing and treating PPD. Three web-based modules include didactic information, case studies, interactive video clips, and links to additional resources. RESULTS: The Support and Training to Enhance Primary Care (STEP)-PPD website is a new and valuable resource for primary care providers that can be easily accessed online and provides accurate and current information on best practices for evidence-based management of PPD in primary care settings. CONCLUSION: The STEP-PPD website is publicly available and free of charge. To register for and view the program, visit www.step-ppd.com.
