Abstract

Poor maternal mental health is associated with adverse effects in child development. Traumatic exposure to a natural disaster, such as Hurricane Maria, could increase the risk of PTSD and other psychopathologies.

This study aims to describe prenatal psychopathologies in the context of posthurricane PTSD.
