Abstract
The primary aim of this study was to describe the knowledge that social work graduate students at California State University, Sacramento possess regarding peripartum mental health conditions. A secondary aim was to explore the existence of relationships between student demographic characteristics and student knowledge of peripartum mental health. In this quantitative survey research descriptive study, a non-probability convenience sampling method was used to acquire 62 Master of Social Work student participants. Study participants responded to survey statements that assessed their knowledge of peripartum mental health conditions and treatment recommendations. Data analysis revealed no statistically significant relationships between demographic variables and knowledge of peripartum mental health conditions. Some demographic variables showed trend-level relationships with knowledge variables. Implications for social work practice are discussed.
