Summary

This study aims to see if the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), a questionnaire already used for mothers, also works for fathers. Researchers will enroll 1,000 French fathers with babies 10 days old or younger. Participants fill out online questionnaires and some also take a diagnostic interview. The goal is to validate the EPDS as a screening tool for paternal postnatal depression.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could give doctors a reliable way to screen new fathers for depression, leading to earlier help.
What could go wrong
This is an observational validation study, not a treatment trial. It only tests a questionnaire, so it won't directly improve anyone's health.
