Relative Contributions of the Five ASQ Subscales to Antenatal Prediction of Postpartum Depressive Symptoms. Predictive value for postpartum depressive symptoms is somewhat higher for ASQ subscales loading to the anxious subtype of attachment insecurity than to the avoidant subtype, though both make significant contributions.
