Abstract

Objective  To identify research priorities in the realm of dietary nutrition and perinatal mental health in China.

Methods  The Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative method, which integrates qualitative decision-making and quantitative assessment, was used to bring together and prioritize priority research topics through a structured process of establishing research themes, topic creation and evaluation, evaluating and weighting criteria, and prioritizing research topics.

Results  The top three research questions identified were "exploring the causal relationship between food and perinatal mental health in high-quality cohort studies" "developing mental health intervention measures for women with perinatal metabolic diseases", and "studying the effects of comprehensive health care service interventions, including nutritional care, on perinatal mental health". The top ten research questions were primarily centered on subthemes of "influencing mechanism studies" "perinatal metabolic diseases and mental health" "health services and policies", and "dietary patterns and mental health".

Conclusion  This study presents and organizes research priorities on nutrition and perinatal mental health in Chinese academia areas, which provides a reference basis for the development of research in the field and the orientation of funding priorities.
