STUDY PURPOSE
We are creating a screening tool to help providers identify pregnant people who are at-risk for developing depression during their pregnancy. We are inviting 10-15 Community Experts to participate in our Community Engagement Studio (CES) to help researchers understand your thoughts on the screening tool and how to use it.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS CAN EXPECT
The CES is a group discussion where you will provide expert advice to researchers on how to perform the next steps of this study in a way that honors the priorities, values, and needs of your community. You will attend one CES that will last about 2 hours and complete a short survey. You will receive $100 as a thank you for your time and input.
