Associations between maternal capabilities for care and nurturing care behaviours among mother-child dyads in Malawi and South Africa
Adequate nurturing care behaviours, including feeding practices, health-seeking and psychosocial stimulation, are crucial for the optimal health, growth and development of young children. However, several factors, recognised as maternal ‘capabilities for care’, can influence a mother’s capability to provide adequate care, namely knowledge/beliefs, physical health and nutritional status, mental health, autonomy, reasonable workload/time availabili…
Iron deficiency anaemia in mothers and infants with high inflammatory burden
The scarcity of epidemiological data on anaemia in low- and middle-income countries, coupled with contrasting approaches to the assessment of iron status with inflammation, represent critical research gaps. This study characterised the prevalence and profile of iron deficiency anaemia, including adjustment for inflammation, in mothers and infants from South Africa. Mother-child dyads ( n = 394) were recruited (2021–2022) for the Khula birth cohor…
The Dynamics of Caregiver Unpredictability Shape Moment-To-Moment Infant Looking During Dyadic Interaction
Cognitive development is associated with how predictable caregivers are, but the mechanisms driving this are unclear. One possibility is caregiver predictability initially shapes how infants gather information for learning. Here, caregiver-infant dyads (N = 222, 2-6-months-old, all female caregivers; data collected 2022–2023) in South Africa and Malawi engaged in naturalistic play before their interactions were hand-annotated to measure caregiver…
Longitudinal effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on visual neurodevelopment over infancy
Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) affects neurodevelopment in over 59 million individuals globally. Prior studies using dichotomous categorization of alcohol use and comorbid substance exposures provide limited knowledge of how prenatal alcohol specifically impacts early human neurodevelopment. In this longitudinal cohort study from Cape Town, South Africa, PAE is measured continuously-characterizing timing, dose, and drinking patterns (i.e., binge…
