Infant mental health
Maternal and child mental health disparities exist in the United States among people of color and people with low socioeconomic status. Adverse maternal and child mental health has short- and long-term consequences for both mothers and children.

The infant mental health framewo…

In this study, 110 American Indian infants from one Northern Plains reservation community were assessed four times between ages 6 months and 36 mo…

As such, the standard of care appears to be shifting from separating mothers and young children while the mother …

Depressed mothers have been characterized as withdrawn and unavailable. The present study examined behavior of preschool children of depressed and nondepressed mothers in response to their mothers' feigned sadness. The study assessed maternal depression and maternal emotional a…
