Abstract Background Responsive caregiving, or interactions in which caregivers give appropriate responses to a child’s signals, is linked improved psychosocial, cognitive and physical outcomes children. However, much remains unknown about how responsive caregiving affects child development across cultural socioeconomic contexts. The purpose of this study examine predictors maternal investigate these are associated with children’s development. Methods Data for the current analyses came from...

Maternal depression is a global public health concern with far-reaching impacts on child development, yet our understanding of mechanisms remains incomplete. This study examined whether parenting mediates the association between maternal and outcomes. Participants included 841 rural Pakistani mother–child dyads (50% female). was measured at 12 months postpartum, behaviors (warmth, stimulation, harsh parenting) were 24 months, outcomes (mental health, socioemotional cognitive skills) 36...
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are linked to poor maternal mental health. The goal of this study is examine the associations between ACEs and multiple manifestations stress (including perceived stress, anxiety cortisol) among mothers in rural Pakistan. This used a cross-sectional design. Mothers were originally recruited during their third trimester pregnancy followed until 36 months post partum. Cortisol was collected at 12 partum, self-report data All participants reside villages...

A compendium of observational studies adults that collected accelerometry to assess physical activity and sedentary behavior (i.e., behaviors) could facilitate cross-study comparisons, meta-analyses, future research collaborations. Therefore, we performed a systematic search identify studies, including surveillance systems, accelerometry-measured among adults.

Maternal adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have significant impacts on the next generation with links to negative birth outcomes, impaired cognitive development, and increased socioemotional problems in children. However, not all types or levels of adversity are similarly deleterious research from diverse contexts is needed better understand why how intergenerational transmission occurs. We examined role maternal ACEs children’s growth, cognitive, development at 36 months postpartum rural...

Social media platforms such as TikTok hold tremendous promise for reaching large proportions of the general population with health messaging. However, proliferation misinformation on these poses a significant public risk. Partnerships between experts and social content creators are novel intervention which may overcome concerns about catalyze evidence-based messages media. To build partnerships mental communication experts, The Center Health Communication (CHC) at Harvard T.H. Chan School...
Previous research raises the possibility that exposing young people to videos from social media content creators promote evidence-based mental health information may improve outcomes. While previous field experimental has increased supply of on a platform like TikTok, less work considers how exposure might influence In large (N = 1,000) and demographically representative survey in US aged 14-22, we report results pre-registered experiment assesses effects messaging perceived objective...
Abstract Maternal adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been associated with negative impacts on children. However, not all types or levels of adversity are similarly deleterious and research from diverse contexts is needed to better understand why how intergenerational transmission occurs. We examined the role maternal ACEs child growth development at 36 months postpartum in rural Pakistan. used data 877 mother-child dyads Bachpan Cohort, a birth cohort study. were captured using an...
Grandparenting activities are of increasing interest to researchers seeking understand reduced social engagement and depression among aging adults. Heterogeneity in the population caretaking roles complicate its measurement. We piloted a measure grandparenting 79 grandparents (aged 55+) Sri Lanka correlated those activity levels with psychological distress. Second, we explored whether aforementioned correlation varied by grandparent functional limitations. found that greater generative was...

Stress is a multi-dimensional construct that comprised of exposure to events, perceptions stress, and physiological responses stress. Research consistently demonstrates strong association between stress myriad physical mental health concerns, resulting in pervasive interdisciplinary agreement on the importance investigating relationship health. Developing holistic understanding requires assessment three domains vital study stress: 1) presence environmental stressors, 2) psychological...
Abstract Objective This manuscript describes the Day‐in‐the‐Life (DIL) method for assessing child caregiving activities, its implementation, and findings regarding family members' roles associations with maternal depression symptoms. Background Infant activities are most commonly performed by mother, although there is increasing acknowledgement of others' contribution. Few methods exist to measure diverse that mothers others perform. Method development occurred within Bachpan Cohort Study in...
