What is Perinatal Common Mental Health Disorders Among Migrant Women: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis about?

## Abstract ## Background Pregnant migrants are particularly vulnerable to mental illness because they are exposed to stressors including conflict, poverty, and discrimination. We aimed to assess the global prevalence of perinatal mental health disorders or substance use among migrant women. ## Methods We searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CENTRAL, Global Health, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies published from inception until July 8, 2022. Cohort, cross-sectional, and interventional studies with prevalence data for any mental illness in the perinatal period or substance use in pregnancy were included. The primary outcome was the prevalence of perinatal mental health disorders amongst migrant women globally. A random-effects meta-analysis was used to calculate pooled prevalence estimates. PROSPERO: CRD42021226291. ## Results 18,650 studies were retrieved, of which 135 studies (comprising data from 621,995 participants) met the inclusion criteria. The pooled prevalence of perinatal depressive disorders was 24·2% (range 0·5-95·5%; I2 98·8%; τ2 0·01) among all migrant women, 32·5% (1·5-81·6; 98·7%; τ2 0·01) among forced migrants, and 13·7% (4·7-35·1; 91·5%; τ2 0·01) among econom
