N2 - This study assessed the reliability and concurrent validity of the prenatal section of the Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory-Revised for 250 pregnant women receiving prenatal care in Mexico. The Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory-Revised has shown adequate psychometric properties for English-speaking perinatal women, but no similar data have been reported for Spanish-speaking samples. The results show that the Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory-Revised is highly reliable and exhibits adequate concurrent validity compared to the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. These findings suggest that the Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory-Revised can be a reliable instrument in prenatal care services for detecting risk factors for perinatal depression in Mexican women and potentially in other Spanish-speaking populations.
