Background
Maternal Common Mental Disorders (CMD), including depression and anxiety, are recogniz ed
to have important public health consequences in lowand
middleincome
countries (LMICs). In
Ethiopia, maternal CMDs have been associated with increased infant diarrhea, impaired child
development and increased child mortality. Crosssectional
studies show associations between
poverty and maternal CMD in LMICs, but the temporal relationship is unclear.
Objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the association between poverty and
maternal CMD, to assess incidence of poverty and maternal CMD.
Methods: a retrospective cohort study design was conducted. The CMaMiE
study recruited
pregnant women (aged 15 – 49 years). CMD has been measured using WHO’s SelfReporting
Q uestionnaire. Poverty was constructed using Mokken scaling procedure during pregnancy and
having two or more subjective poverty report at the follow up time. Poisson and binary logistic
regression analyses were performed
