Postnatal Depression and Infant Anthropometry

The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is a validated tool to assess psychosocial status, which has been validated in Karnataka as well (23 (link)), and social support was measured using the 12- item validated questionnaire (24 (link)). For anthropometry of the women, weight was measured using a Tanita weighing scale and height using the SECA 213 Portable Stadiometer, Hamburg. The anthropometry of the infants was measured at birth and 14 weeks; weight using a SECA 354 Weighing Scale, Hamburg; and length using SECA 417 Infantometer, Hamburg.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
