A descriptive examination of rurality in the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes Cohort
PURPOSE: The Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Cohort has enrolled over 60,000 children to examine how early environmental factors (broadly defined) are associated with key child health outcomes. The ECHO Cohort may be well-positioned to contribute to our understanding of rural environments and contexts, which has implications for rural health disparities research. The present study examined the outcome of child obesity to …
The impact of Covid-19 school disruptions on children’s learning
Introduction: National health policies to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus in the US resulted in widespread school closures and disrupted learning in Spring 2020. Methods: = 282 5-12 year olds enrolled in the NIH Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Research Program to investigate associations between caregiver-reported duration of Spring 2020 learning disruptions and academic achievement. Results: Linear regression analy…
Using Echo program data to develop a brief measure of caregiver support and cognitive stimulation using the home observation for measurement of the environment-infant/toddler (Home-IT)
Data from three NIH Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program cohorts that collected the HOME-Infant-Toddler (HOME-IT age 0–3 years) version were used to examine the reliability of a brief scale of caregiver support and cognitive stimulation. Participants with HOME-IT data (N = 2518) were included in this analysis. Mean child age at HOME-IT assessment was 1.51 years, 48% of children were female, and 43% of children identifi…
Maternal education prospectively predicts child neurocognitive function
A large body of research has established a relation between maternal education and children's neurocognitive functions, such as executive function and language. However, most studies have focused on early childhood and relatively few studies have examined associations with changes in maternal education over time. Consequently, it remains unclear if early maternal education is longitudinally related to neurocognitive functions in children, adolesc…

Adaptation of the Parents Taking Action program for Diné (Navajo) parents of children with autism
Purpose Neurodivergent children who are part of Indigenous communities in rural areas often have inequitable access to specialized services. Parent education and training programs can be used to help address these gaps in the service system. Yet few parent education and training programs exist for Indigenous parents of children with autism, including parents who identify as Diné (Navajo, meaning “The People”), the largest federated tribe in the U…
Effects of Covid-19 Financial and Social Hardships on Infants’ and Toddlers’ Development in the Echo Program
Negative developmental changes from pre- to during-pandemic were found in boys, yet we did not find any associations between increased experience of pandemic-related hardships and children's development. E how pandemic hardships affect development using a larger sample size and with longer follow-up is warranted
Know Your Children, Who They Are, Their Weakness, and Their Strongest Point”
Diné parents' access to autism services was dynamically affected by sociocultural factors that must be addressed in future health equity-oriented initiatives
Cross-cultural applicability of eye-tracking in assessing attention to emotional faces in preschool-aged children
Humans show an attention bias toward emotional versus neutral information, which is considered an adaptive pattern of information processing. Deviations from this pattern have been observed in children with socially withdrawn behaviors, with most research being conducted in controlled settings among children from urban areas. The goal of the current study was to examine the cross-cultural applicability of two eye-tracking-based measures in assess…
Prenatal Metal Exposures and Infants’ Developmental Outcomes in a Navajo Population
Early-life exposure to environmental toxicants can have detrimental effects on children's neurodevelopment. In the current study, we employed a causal modeling framework to examine the direct effect of specific maternal prenatal exposures on infants' neurodevelopment in the context of co-occurring metals. Maternal metal exposure and select micronutrients' concentrations were assessed using samples collected at the time of delivery from mothers li…
Longitudinal patterns of anger reactivity and risk‐taking
The current study examined the interplay between children's dispositional anger and susceptibility to peers' influence in increasing children's risk-taking behaviors. Participants in the current study were children from a larger study of temperament and social-emotional development who were followed across 9, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months. Dispositional anger was measured using mothers' reports across 9 and 48 months. At 60 months, children played a …
Longitudinal relations between behavioral inhibition and social information processing
Utilizing multiple measures of interpretive biases, the current study examined the roles of toddlers' behavioral inhibition (BI) and maternal supportive reactions to children's negative emotions in relation to children's interpretive biases across middle to late childhood. Toddlers' BI was measured during several laboratory tasks ( n = 248) at 2 and 3 years of age. Mothers reported on their reactions to children's negative emotional expressions w…
Relations of emotion-related temperamental characteristics to attentional biases and social functioning
The current study examined whether an important temperamental characteristic, effortful control (EC), moderates the associations between dispositional anger and sadness, attention biases, and social functioning in a group of preschool-aged children (N = 77). Preschoolers' attentional biases toward angry and sad facial expressions were assessed using eye-tracking, and we obtained teachers' reports of children's temperament and social functioning. …
