New Jersey’s Cumberland County is home to a vastly diverse population of people, comprised of numerous racial, ethnic, economic, health, and educational backgrounds among its nearly 150,000 residents. Per U.S. Census data, about 15% of the population is below the poverty line, including about 20% of those below the age of 18. With economic hardship often come health problems and disparities, and Cumberland County’s rates of obesity, tobacco use, lung cancer, and drug-induced deaths are all above the national averages.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is defined as symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD) within one month of giving birth with the prevalence in the United States being 10-15%.

In this project we aim to:
1. Assess the outcomes of screening, management, and diagnosis for patients at the Rowan Community Health Center (RCHC).
2. Compare the outcomes of screening, management, and diagnosis between different groups (gender, race, income, insurance status) using validated surveys.
3. There is a need for accessible and affordable primary care in the South Jersey area, which the RCHC is hoping to meet.
Hypothesis:
The quality of mental health care available to patients at the RCHC is comparable to that at other insured practices.

Period products face a luxury goods sales tax in …
