Young mothers’ prenatal attachment and later attachment‐related representations of their young children
Although mother‐to‐infant attachment begins during pregnancy, few studies have explored correlates of prenatal attachment and associations with later measures of attachment representations. This study explored whether prenatal attachment is related to attachment representations during toddlerhood and whether associations between them reflect the broader quality of mothers’ relationships. Young, ethnically/racially diverse, low‐income American wom…
Young, low-income mothers’ social relationships and involvement in doula home visiting services
Parenting Among Women in Methadone Treatment
Associations between parenting representations and behavior among young mothers and mothers with opioid use disorder
Mothers’ representations reflect how they experience their child and their relationship, and can guide parenting behavior. While studies of representations typically focus on infancy, this study examines associations between mothers’ representations and behavior with their preschoolers using two samples: young mothers ( n = 201; 42% African American, 42% Latina, 8% European‐American, 8% multi‐ethnic; M age = 32 months) and mothers in treatment fo…
Young First-Time Mothers’ Parenting of Infants
Parenting Profiles of Young Low-income African American and Latina Mothers and Infant Socioemotional Development
SYNOPSISObjective. Parenting styles are complex and have been well studied in parents of children and adolescents; however, less is known about parenting styles in early infancy, especially among ethnic minority groups. This study examines empirically identifiable profiles of early parenting that are associated with later infant socioemotional development. Design. 239 young, low-income, African American (54.8%) and Latina (45.2%) mothers were vid…
Maternal support for infant learning
Randomized Controlled Trial of Doula-Home-Visiting Services
Introduction Although home-visiting programs typically engage families during pregnancy, few studies have examined maternal and child health outcomes during the antenatal and newborn period and fewer have demonstrated intervention impacts. Illinois has developed an innovative model in which programs utilizing evidence-based home-visiting models incorporate community doulas who focus on childbirth education, breastfeeding, pregnancy health, and ne…
Prenatal Depressive Symptoms and Toddler Behavior Problems
Infant risk factors associated with internalizing, externalizing, and co-occurring behavior problems in young children
The purpose of the current study was to examine the unique and interactive contributions of infant negative emotionality and family risk factors in the development of internalizing-only, externalizing-only, and co-occurring behavior problems in early childhood. The sample included 412 infants and their primary caregivers. Interviews and temperament assessments took place when infants were 5-7 months old, and primary caregivers completed child beh…
Promoting Positive Mother–Infant Relationships
Doulas, whose traditional role is to support women during labor and delivery, are being increasingly utilized within community‐based programs where a primary goal is supporting mother–infant relationships. The present study investigated the effect of doula services on parenting among young, low‐income mothers. A total of 248 pregnant women were randomly assigned to receive either doula services or routine medical and social services. The doulas p…
