The present study aims to: 1) compare perinatal anxiety and depression rates in migrant and Swiss women; 2) identify sociodemographic and sociocultural (acculturation) risk factors for anxiety and depression; and 3) follow up changes in anxiety and depression symptoms from pregnancy to postpartum. The sample consisted of 43 migrant and 41 Swiss women. Depression was assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and anxiety by using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Antenatal anxiety in migrant women was predicted by psychosocial factors, while antenatal depression was predicted by attachment to the heritage culture. Postpartum anxiety and depression were mainly predicted by antenatal anxiety and depression. Migrant women faced more psychosocial and sociocultural risk factors than Swiss women.
