Abstract

We explore perspectives of rural Latinas and healthcare providers on a peer-delivered therapy model for perinatal depression. Qualitative methods were used to identify core themes, including views of depression, treatment barriers, and desirable peer characteristics. Implications for developing peer-delivered therapy to address a care gap in rural communities are explored.
