Redefining the mom brain narrative
Mom brain" is a commonly reported phenomenon in pregnant and postpartum women characterized by brain fog, forgetfulness, distractibility, and other cognitive disruptions. However, research on objective cognitive functioning in pregnant and postpartum women is inconclusive and does not necessarily align with mothers' subjective experiences with mom brain. This review discusses recent developments in the perinatal cognitive neuroscience literature …
Sociodemographic disparities in preterm birth and low birthweight in the State of Georgia
PURPOSE: To update the overall prevalence of preterm birth (PTB) (<37 weeks gestation) and low birthweight (LBW) (<2,500 g) in the State of Georgia, including rural and urban counties. METHODS: A sample was drawn from the 2017-2018 Georgia Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS). In the complete-case data of singleton births (n=1,258), we estimated the weighted percentage prevalence of PTB, LBW, early/late PTB, and moderately/very LBW…

A Stepped Care Model of Patient Navigation to Enhance Engagement with Perinatal Mental Health Care
During the perinatal period, women are at increased risk for developing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs). As perinatal mental health screening efforts increase, significantly more women will be identified who require mental health services. Evidence-based treatments exist, yet many women do not receive adequate care. Patient navigation (PN) offers a promising patient-centered approach to improve treatment attendance and engagement. Th…
In Their Own Words
During the first twelve months postpartum, infants require intensive care and mothers are susceptible to physical and mental health concerns as they undergo a period of tremendous psychological and physiological adjustment. The mother's level of postpartum functioning not only impacts her experience as a mother but also the infant and family unit. However, efforts to bolster functioning are lacking, and previous literature has identified a gap be…
Infant illness severity and family adjustment in the aftermath of Nicu hospitalization
Up to 15% of parents have an infant who will spend time in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). After discharge, parents may care for a medically fragile infant and worry about their development. The current study examined how infant illness severity is associated with family adjustment. Participants included parents with infants who had been discharged from the NICU 6 months to 3 years prior to study participation ( N = 199). Via a Qualtrics o…

HIV care continuum outcomes of pregnant women living with HIV with and without depression
Women living with HIV (WLWH) suffer from poor viral suppression and retention postpartum. The effect of perinatal depression on care continuum outcomes during pregnancy and postpartum is unknown. We performed a retrospective cohort analysis using HIV surveillance data of pregnant WLWH enrolled in perinatal case management in Philadelphia and evaluated the association between possible or definite depression with four outcomes: viral suppression at…
Perinatal Depression and Anxiety in Women with and without Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection
Rates and predictors of prenatal depression in women living with and without HIV
Depression is a significant mental health and public health concern, and women living with HIV are at increased risk for depression. This risk may be especially elevated during pregnancy; however, few studies have attempted to identify rates and predictors of depression in pregnant, HIV-infected women. The purpose of the present study was to investigate rates and predictors of prenatal depression, such as history of depression, childhood sexual a…
Women's Health Psychology
Despite recent advances, the field of women's health psychology remains an important research area that warrants continued attention. In this chapter, we review women's health from a global perspective, including information on gender health disparities, ethnic and racial differences, and social and cultural contexts and influences. This chapter includes a review of prevalent physical and mental health issues experienced by women with attention t…

A Randomized Controlled Effectiveness Trial of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Therapy for Anxiety and Depression
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) has a small but growing database of support. One hundred and one heterogeneous outpatients reporting moderate to severe levels of anxiety or depression were randomly assigned to traditional cognitive therapy (CT) or to ACT. To maximize external validity, the authors utilized very minimal exclusion criteria. Participants receiving CT and ACT evidenced large, equivalent improvements in depression, anxiety, fu…
Darryl, a cartoon-based measure of cardinal posttraumatic stress symptoms in school-age children
OBJECTIVES: This report examines the reliability and validity of Darryl, a cartoon-based measure of the cardinal symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). METHODS: We measured exposure to community violence through the reports of children and their parents and then administered Darryl to a sample of 110 children aged 7 to 9 residing in urban neighborhoods with high crime rates. RESULTS: Darryl's reliability is excellent overall and is acc…
Gender Differences in Job Stress, Tedium and Social Support in the Workplace
The amount of tedium, job stress, and home and work social support, were compared for men and women employed by four northeast Ohio employers. The differential effects of each source of support (i.e. supervisor, co-worker and partner) on tedium and job stress were also assessed. A sample of 116 individuals (61 males and 55 females), participated. Women and men reported similar amounts of job stress and similar amounts of work support. As predicte…

Conservation of Social Resources
A motivational model of social support was developed, based on a general stress model termed Conservation of Resources Theory (COR). COR suggests that individuals have, as a primary goal to preserve and protect those resources that they value. This resource conservation is made possible, in turn, by possessing a strong resource pool such that resource strength preserves further resource development and resource security. Resources, in other words…
