Abstract

Background: Built food environment contributes to food access and insecurity, which impactsmaternal health due to increased rates of perinatal depression.

Objectives: The purpose of this integrative literature review will be to (1) identify contributing factors of built food environments in communities that increase the rate of perinatal depression and (2) evaluate the current intervention programs and methods addressing these factors in order to provide recommendations for further research.

Method: An integrative literature review will be used, in accordance with the Ecological Model, to evaluate contributing factors and suggestions.

Results: Findings from this integrative literature review revealed a link that connects built environments and perinatal depression: food access. It also discovered a lack of research that studied all three topics together.

Conclusions: This integrative literature review aimed to thoroughly evaluate the impact that built food environments within communities have on maternal health, with a focus on perinatal depression, and provide appropriate suggestions for amended urban development with the overall goal to improve maternal psychosocial health.
