Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) encompass a range of mental health disorders experienced during pregnancy and 1 year after delivery. Expanding the perinatal mental health workforce to include paraprofessionals could help address a national shortage of mental health professionals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This scoping review aims to investigate the literature on perinatal mental health interventions delivered by community health workers (CHWs) or paraprofessionals in the United States.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Studies on interventions addressing perinatal mental health were included if delivered by CHWs or paraprofessionals in the United States. Seven databases were searched via EBSCO through August 29, 2025. No publication year limits were applied.

CHW-delivered interventions for PMADs in the United States varied in design, content, and implementation. Most were initiated during the antenatal period, extended postnatally, and targeted primary prevention of depression symptoms. Ten studies evaluated outcomes among predominantly low-income, Latina, or Black mothers in urban environments. Interventions enhanced social support, cognitive, emotional, behavioral, parenting, and practical skills. Intervention results varied. Most studies reported positive effects: all nonexperimental designs found statistically significant improvements in depressive symptoms, and many experimental designs demonstrated statistically significant improvements in depressive symptoms among women receiving adequate intervention dosage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review expands knowledge of perinatal mental health interventions delivered by CHWs and health paraprofessionals in the United States, including information about populations served, CHWs, intervention characteristics, and outcomes.
