Milestones: WG Meetings; 2 TSs for health professionals (on PPD clinical diagnosis and assessment, and on infant’s neurodevelopment assessment); 2 STSMs in assessment methods; 2 Workshops (1 for primary care professionals and 1 for undergraduate students).

​Deliverables: Publications on current trans-disciplinary assessment procedures and tools in Peripartum Depression Disorder; Proposals for concrete guidelines or input to standards for the assessment of each intervenient and dimension.
