Hi all, I wonder if I could get some advice, help guidance on current
research.

I'm looking for links between poverty and depression (specifically perinatal
depression) and literacy skills and depression (I don't think anyone has
studied literacy and perinatal depression.)

Perinatal - pre and postpartum depression is finally gaining the attention
and research it so desperately needs.  But much of the research and
attention is going to the Brooke Shields of the world rather than our
population.  I'm hoping to create some linkages as a call for research in
the areas of poverty, literacy levels and perinatal depression.  If there's
any research anyone on the list has done, or articles you think I should be
sure to look at, or even a quote you would like to give me from your own
anecdotal experience it would be VERY much appreciated.  Thanks all,
Lisa
