Follow-Up Care After Behavioral Health-Related Hospitalization for Children and Adolescents
The Future of Maternal and Child Health Data in the United States
Examining the link between women's exposure to stressful life events prior to conception and infant and toddler health
BACKGROUND: The life course perspective suggests a pathway may exist among maternal exposure to stressful life events prior to conception (PSLEs), infant birth weight and subsequent offspring health, whereby PSLEs are part of a 'chains-of-risk' that set children on a certain health pathway. No prior study has examined the link between PSLEs and offspring health in a nationally representative sample of US mothers and their children. We used longit…
Neighborhood Disadvantage, Preconception Stressful Life Events, and Infant Birth Weight
Objectives. We sought to determine whether the effects of preconception stressful life events (PSLEs) on birth weight differed by neighborhood disadvantage. Methods. We drew our data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort (2001–2002; n = 9300). We created a neighborhood disadvantage index (NDI) using county-level data from the 2000 US Census. We grouped the NDI into tertiles that represented advantaged, middle advantaged, and d…

The relationship among caregiving characteristics, caregiver strain, and health-related quality of life
Maternal Stressful Life Events Prior to Conception and the Impact on Infant Birth Weight in the United States
Objectives. We sought to determine if and to what extent a woman’s exposure to stressful life events prior to conception (PSLEs) were associated with subsequent infant birth weight by using a nationally representative sample of US women. Methods. We examined 9350 mothers and infants participating in the first wave of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort in 2001. Weighted regressions estimated the effect of exposure on very low and…
Impact of County Disadvantage on Behavior Problems Among US Children With Cognitive Delay
Objectives. We investigated relationships among cognitive delay, community factors, and behavior problems over 2 years in early childhood with a national sample of US families. Methods. Data were from 3 waves of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort (2001–2005; n = 7650). We defined cognitive delay as the lowest 10% of mental scores from the Bayley Short Form–Research Edition, administered at 9 and 24 months. At 24 months, we class…
Preterm Birth in the United States
Objectives. We determined whether and to what extent a woman’s exposure to stressful life events prior to conception (PSLEs) was associated with preterm birth and whether maternal age modified this relationship. Methods. We examined 9350 mothers and infants participating in the first wave of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort, a nationally representative sample of US women and children born in 2001, to investigate the impact of …
Favorable Ratings of Providers' Communication Behaviors Among U.S. Women with Depression
Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Personal Capital During Pregnancy
Role of global stress in the health-related quality of life of caregivers
Child Health, Maternal Marital and Socioeconomic Factors, and Maternal Health
Although maternal socioeconomic status and health predict in part children's future health and socioeconomic prospects, it is possible that the intergenerational association flows in the other direction such that child health affects maternal outcomes. Previous research demonstrates that poor child health increases the risk of adverse maternal physical and mental health outcomes. The authors hypothesize that poor child health may also increase th…
Preconception Mental Health Predicts Pregnancy Complications and Adverse Birth Outcomes
Poor Prepregnancy and Antepartum Mental Health Predicts Postpartum Mental Health Problems among US Women
Quality of life among parents of children with cancer or brain tumors
Health-related quality of life of mothers of very low birth weight children at the age of five
Stress-mediated quality of life outcomes in parents of childhood cancer and brain tumor survivors
Psychological Distress as a Barrier to Preventive Healthcare Among U.S. Women
Proxy Assessment of Health-Related Quality of Life in African American and White Respondents With Prostate Cancer
OBJECTIVES: An emerging issue in the proxy literature is whether specifying different proxy viewpoints contributes to different health-related quality of life (HRQL) assessments, and if so, how might each perspective be informative in medical decision making. The aims of this study were to determine if informal caregiver assessments of patients with prostate cancer differed when prompted from both the patient perspective (proxy-patient) and their…
Health Insurance Coverage and the Risk of Decline in Overall Health and Death Among the Near Elderly, 1992–2002
BACKGROUND: Although individuals' health insurance coverage changes frequently, previous analyses have not accounted for changes in insurance coverage over time. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine the independent association between lack of insurance and the risk of a decline in self-reported overall health and death from 1992 to 2002, accounting for changes in self-reported overall health and insurance coverage. METHODS: We analyzed data from the…
