Adjusting to Young Motherhood Study
This substudy of the PGS funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (MH071790: Hipwell) started in 2005 and included teenage mothers aged 12-19 years and their infants. The study investigated: 1) mental health problems as precursors to teenage pregnancy; 2) childhood risks for postpartum psychopathology utilizing prospectively gathered PGS data; and 3) the reciprocal processes between teenage parenting, maternal psychopathology and infant emotion and behavioral regulation and development. The study was completed in 2013.
PGS Mother-Baby Study
This PGS substudy funded jointly by the National Institute of Child Health and Development and the National Institute of Mental Health (HD067185) began in 2011. The goals of this study are to: 1) elucidate the neural signature of postpartum depression and impairments in maternal caregiving; 2) explain heterogeneity in postpartum affective neural functioning from child and adolescent psychosocial factors and own parenting experience; and 3) explore the extent to which postpartum neural response explains subsequent maternal sensitivity at 6 months.
