Despite global recommendations for mental health screening in this critical period, research shows that implementation remains inconsistent and inequitable. Women from migrant backgrounds are less likely to be screened compared to those from nonmigrant backgrounds, possibly leaving those at risk without the necessary care. To promote culturally sensitive screening practices for all, this research project aims to explore healthcare providers’ experiences and needs pertaining to the screening of perinatal depression and anxiety among women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.  \nMethods: We employed a generic qualitative study design, involving focus group discussions with healthcare providers in primary care and community-based settings. We included general practitioners, midwives, maternity nurses, child health service workers, cultural support workers, gynaecologists, physiotherapists, and primary care psychologists. A purposive sampling strategy was used, and potential participants were recruited via newsletters, social media or email. Discussions were recorded, verbatim transcribed, and are currently being analysed using inductive framework analysis.  \nResults: Five heterogeneous focus groups, each consisting of three to five participants were conducted. While the final results are pending, it is anticipated that the study will provide in-depth insights into healthcare providers’ experiences and needs in culturally sensitive perinatal mental health screening. Preliminary results suggest that the main challenges stem from cultural and linguistic differences and organisational barriers in care. However, specific tools and training might support healthcare providers in the screening process. Findings will be presented at the conference.  \nConclusions: The study’s findings will be highly valuable, as they could improve our understanding of healthcare providers’ experiences and needs. Subsequently, this knowledge could inform the development of a culturally sensitive screening program and the selection of specific strategies ensuring the implementation of equitable mental health screening for all (expectant) mothers.  \nKeywords: Mental well-being, migrants, perceptions","cbCainW5QcIm32xd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainW5QcIm32xd","pdf",43563,"English","# Aims\n# Methods\n# Results\n# Conclusions\n# Keywords","[{\"question\":\"Why focus on perinatal mental health screening for culturally and linguistically diverse women in Belgium?\",\"answer\":\"Perinatal mental health problems are prevalent, and screening implementation is reported to be inconsistent and inequitable.
