The problem
Intervention: Assessment and identification of associated factors for postpartum depression using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (cutoff ≥13 points)
Who it was tested with: Postpartum mothers with FGM in Mogadishu, Somalia (chronic disease and psychiatric disorder cases excluded).
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"This was a cross-sectional study conducted between February and May 2021 in Somalia Mogadishu-Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan Training and Research Hospital"; the study identifies associations between FGM and postpartum depression symptoms but cannot determine causation due to the observational design.
Cross-sectional design prevents causal inference. Exclusion of women with chronic or psychiatric disorders may limit generalizability. Specific sample size and prevalence rates not clearly stated in the excerpt.
