Objective hardship during pregnancy and child social-emotional outcomes at 2 years of age in the Pregnancy During the Pandemic Cohort
Background The COVID-19 pandemic and associated stressors contributed to increased mental health concerns (e.g., anxiety and depression). Objective stress among expectant parents poses a risk for child development, with previous studies demonstrating that exposure to stress in-utero can have negative implications for social-emotional development. Objective To assess the association between pandemic-related objective hardship and psychological dis…
Parent and caregiver preferences for eHealth programs
This research provides an important first step toward creating more accessible online mental health and parent mental health programs by ensuring the voices of the parents who will use these services are heard in program development and adaptation. Future research should investigate how to address accessibility and inclusivity barriers to participating in parent mental health programs for diverse families based on their differential preferences
Cultural humility, knowledge, and identity salience when working with sexual and gender minority clients
Prenatal maternal mental health and resilience in the United Kingdom during the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic
This study revealed increased mental health challenges among pregnant individuals in the UK during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. These results highlight the need for reassessing the mental health support measures available to pregnant people in the UK, both during times of crisis and in general
Experiences with discrimination during pregnancy in Canada and associations with depression and anxiety symptoms
Paternal Perinatal Experiences during the Covid-19 Pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, new parents were disproportionately affected by public health restrictions changing service accessibility and increasing stressors. However, minimal research has examined pandemic-related stressors and experiences of perinatal fathers in naturalistic anonymous settings. An important and novel way parents seek connection and information is through online forums, which increased during COVID-19. The current study quali…
Self-acceptance and nonreactive observing predict adolescent psychopathology over and above the big five
Romantic Relationship Quality and Mental Health in Pregnancy During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Introduction: Social capital is important for good mental health and the quality of close relationships is one key indicator of social capital. Examining the association between relationship quality and mental health may be particularly important during pregnancy as mental health concerns during this period pose significant risk to families. The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to increased mental health problems among pregnant individuals. The …

Associations Between the Gut Microbiota and Internalizing Behaviors in Preschool Children
OBJECTIVE: Emerging evidence points toward a connection between mental health and the gut microbiota and its metabolites (e.g., short-chain fatty acids). It is unknown whether the gut microbiota is associated with the development of mental health problems (e.g., internalizing or externalizing behaviors) in preschool children. The objective of this study was to evaluate associations between the gut microbiota and internalizing and externalizing be…
Assessment of Canadian perinatal mental health services from the provider perspective
Survey findings reveal significant gaps in training, screening tool use, and timely and culturally safe treatment of perinatal mental health concerns. There is critical need for coordinated and nationally mandated perinatal mental health services in Canada to improve care for pregnant and postpartum people

Sex and gender terminology
There is increased interest in inclusion, diversity and representativeness in epidemiological and community health research. Despite this progress, misunderstanding and conflation of sex and gender have precluded both the accurate description of sex and gender as sample demographics and their inclusion in scientific enquiry aiming to distinguish health disparities due to biological systems, gendered experiences or their social and environmental i…
Gender-inclusive writing for epidemiological research on pregnancy
People who have a uterus but are not cisgender women may carry pregnancies. Unfortunately, to date, academic language surrounding pregnancy remains largely (cis) woman-centric. The exclusion of gender-diverse people in the language of pregnancy research in English is pervasive. In reviewing a random sample of 500 recent articles on pregnancy or pregnant populations across health research fields, we found that only 1.2% of articles used gender-inc…
Elevated depression and anxiety symptoms among pregnant individuals during the Covid-19 pandemic
Improved Child Mental Health Following Brief Relationship Enhancement and Co-Parenting Interventions During the Transition to Parenthood
The transition to parenthood has been identified as a significant relationship stressor. Many couples report declines in relationship satisfaction and difficulty with individual stress and co-parenting-problems that have been associated with both child temperament as well as emotional and behavioral problems. Several parenting and relationship interventions have been developed to buffer against these difficulties. In the current study, we report …
Psychometric properties of the Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Scale for use with fathers during pregnancy
Maternal psychological distress and child weight at 24 months
Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy and Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety as Related to Gestational Age at Birth
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate whether symptoms of depression or state anxiety changed the strength or nature of the association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and gestational age at birth. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of data from the All Our Families Cohort, a prospective pregnancy cohort study based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Self-reported depressive symptoms and state anxiety were assesse…
Developmental origins of infant emotion regulation
Emotion regulation is essential to cognitive, social, and emotional development and difficulties with emotion regulation portend future socioemotional, academic, and behavioral difficulties. There is growing awareness that many developmental outcomes previously thought to begin their development in the postnatal period have their origins in the prenatal period. Thus, there is a need to integrate evidence of prenatal influences within established …
Relations between neighbourhood socioeconomic status and birth outcomes are mediated by maternal weight

Depressed Mood and Flow-Mediated Dilation
OBJECTIVE: This systematic and quantitative review evaluates the literature on associations between depressed mood and flow-mediated dilation (FMD), a measure of endothelial function, in adults. METHODS: Published English-language articles (through December 2010) were identified from literature searches, assessed for data extraction, and evaluated for quality. RESULTS: The literature includes cross-sectional (n = 9) and retrospective examinations…
Multiwave Associations Between Depressive Symptoms and Endothelial Function in Adolescent and Young Adult Females
OBJECTIVE: Depression has been linked to endothelial dysfunction, and some research suggests that past depressive episodes are associated with a lasting, negative impact on the endothelium. However, investigations in this area have been predominantly cross-sectional, raising questions about the direction of these associations. Using a multiwave design, we sought to extend previous research in this area by examining whether depressive symptoms hav…
Everyday Discrimination and Nocturnal Blood Pressure Dipping in Black and White Americans
These findings suggest that experiences of everyday discrimination are associated with less nocturnal SBP and DBP dipping above and beyond the effect of known covariates. The use of multiple ABPM sessions may facilitate the detection of relationships between psychological variables and BP dipping
