Researchers at ECU say the findings of a new study show the importance of screening pregnant women for depression.
The study by the College of Nursing looked at low income women. It found a third of rural low income women in Pitt County surveyed were at risk for depression during pregnancy.
The risk for depression was twice as great among African-American women as Hispanic or White women.
Other research shows about one in 20 American women who are pregnant or have given birth in the past year suffer from major depression.
