To be eligible for the study the CHS nurse must perform screening of immigrant mothers for postpartum depression with help of an interpreter according to the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) method more than three times a year. The EPDS is a likert form scale with ten statements and is used in combination with a Clinical interview.

Approximately 40-45 CHS nurses will be enrolled in the pilot study. The number of nurses are calculated in comparison to two other published studies within the same context. The instruments Clinical Cultural Competence Training Questionnaire (CCCTQ) and General Self-Efficacy scale (GSE) will be used as primary outcomes measures. Data are collected before the first education day and after the second education day. Secondary outcomes are also collected in connection to the educational intervention and consists of reported yearly statistics; how many mothers were are offered screening, participated in screening, number of screenings preformed with help og an interpreter and number of mothers offered follow-up after participating in screening.
