Dr. Samantha Meltzer-Brody is the Co-Director of the Perinatal Psychiatry Program of the Center. Her current research efforts are focused on Perinatal Depression. She has collaborated and was co-author on a federally funded Systematic Evidence Based Review of Perinatal Depression sponsored by the Safe Motherhood Group and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) that was published in Obstetrics and Gynecology. She also recently served as the mental health advisor for the North Carolina Women’s Health Report Card.
