Abstract

While maternal depressive symptoms during pregnancy have been linked to preterm birth, little has been reported on potential buffering factors, particularly for Black women. We examined the association between depressive symptoms and preterm birth in pregnant Black women, with father of the baby support as a potential buffering factor.
