  • Advancing family wellbeing through a Massive Online Open Intervention

    Open AccessMadissen Sitka, Kaeley M Simpson et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2026

    While early childhood remains a formative period for healthy child development, it is simultaneously a time when parents experience increased mental health challenges. Such increased challenges (e.g., heightened parental stress, anxiety, depression, etc.) can lead to a variety of adverse child outcomes, including increased risk of externalizing and internalizing disorders. Despite the well-documented effects of parental mental health on child dev…

  • What Are the Mechanisms Underpinning Intergenerational Transmission of Violence Perpetration? A Realist Review

    Open AccessFranziska Meinck, Mengyao Lu et al.ARTICLETrauma Violence & Abuse2025

    Successive generations are more likely to carry out acts of violence in households where an individual has either perpetrated or been subjected to violence. While research to date has mostly concentrated on direct associations between violence experience or perpetration in generation 1 and violence perpetration in generation 2, there is limited evidence regarding the underlying mechanisms of the transmission of intergenerational violence perpetra…

  • Evaluating parent-mediated interventions to support child emotion regulation

    Open AccessKatrina R Abela, Randi E Mccabe et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Review2025

    Parenting plays an important role in children’s emotion regulation (ER) development. Parent-mediated interventions, preventative approaches that equip caregivers with skills to enhance their children’s emotional, behavioural, or developmental outcomes, have emerged as a promising strategy to address difficulties in child ER, particularly during the early to middle childhood years ( Morawska et al., 2019 ). This narrative review synthesized studie…

  • Childhood Abuse Prevalence in Canada

    Open AccessBritt Mckinnon, Wendy Hovdestad et al.ARTICLEChild Indicators Research2025Referências: 1

    Reliable estimates of childhood abuse (CA) prevalence are essential for informing resource allocation and prevention strategies. While previous research has provided valuable insights, inconsistencies in definitions and data collection methods have hindered a clear understanding of prevalence patterns. Recent changes in Canadian surveys enable comparisons of self-reported CA data, offering insight into prevalence over time and across survey conte…

  • Examining the rollout of the Triple P system parenting program in Manitoba on rates of child maltreatment

    Open AccessDivya Joshi, Marni Brownell et al.ARTICLECanadian Journal of Public Health2025

  • Examining interparental conflict, parent-child conflict, and child emotion regulation within the Family Check-Up®

    Open AccessKatrina R Abela, Andrea Gonzalez et al.ARTICLEJournal of Applied Developmental…2025Referências: 66

    Interparental and parent-child conflict are key familial risk factors for emotion regulation (ER) difficulties in early childhood. This study examined the impact of the Family Check-Up® (FCU), a preventative family-centered intervention, on child ER at 12 months post-intervention, and whether the FCU moderated the association between early exposure to family conflicts (interparental and parent-child conflict) and ER outcomes. In a longitudinal ra…

  • The association between positive parent–child interaction and mental health outcomes in children aged 1–11 years in Canada

    Open AccessPeter Yassa, Justin Thielman et al.ARTICLECanadian Journal of Public Health2025Referências: 27

    While it is theorized that positive PCI is predictive of child mental health, this study did not find a consistent association, except for the frequency at which the parent laughs with the child. This suggests that PCI, as measured in CHSCY, is not a strong indicator of child mental health. Yet, as PCI is an important parenting concept, the PCI items in the CHSCY may not adequately capture the intended construct. Future studies should consider as…

  • The Family-Check-Up® Autism Implementation Research (Fair) Study

    Open AccessTeresa Bennett, Irene Drmic et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction Prevalence rates of emotional and behavior problems (EBP) in autistic children and youth are high (40–70%), and often cause severe and chronic impairment. Furthermore, autistic children are also more likely to experience family “social-ecological” adversity compared to neurotypically developing peers, including social isolation, child maltreatment, caregiver mental illness, and socioeconomic risk. These family stressors increase the …

A sample of 304 participants par…

  • Social support buffers the impact of pregnancy stress on perceptions of parent–infant closeness during the Covid‐19 pandemic

    Open AccessEmma Becker, Lucy Atkinson et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2024Referências: 65

    Pregnant individuals and parents have experienced elevated mental health problems and stress during COVID‐19. Stress during pregnancy can be harmful to the fetus and detrimental to the parent–child relationship. However, social support is known to act as a protective factor, buffering against the adverse effects of stress. The present study examined whether (1) prenatal stress during COVID‐19 was associated with parent–infant closeness at 6 month…
