ListOutcomeTime frameDescriptionSource
PrimaryChange in Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale Total ScoreBaseline (Week 0) and Week 16
Change in Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) total score from baseline to Week 16. The EPDS is a 10-item self-report questionnaire assessing depressive symptoms during the preceding seven days. Each item is scored from 0 to 3, yielding a total score of 0 to 30. Higher scores indicate greater depressive symptom severity. A decrease from baseline indicates improvement.
