    Young people persevered with taking medication to manage a mental illness within a healthcare system that does not adequately support this vulnerable population.

  • Infant Neurodevelopment is Affected by Prenatal Maternal Stress

    Open AccessGabrielle Simcock, David P Laplante et al.ARTICLEInfancy2017

    Research shows that prenatal maternal stress (PNMS) negatively affects a range of infant outcomes; yet no single study has explored the effects of stress in pregnancy from a natural disaster on multiple aspects of infant neurodevelopment. This study examined the effects of flood‐related stress in pregnancy on 6‐month‐olds' neurodevelopment and examined the moderating effects of timing of the stressor in gestation and infant sex on these outcomes.…

  • Dietary change mediates relationships between stress during pregnancy and infant head circumference measures

    Open AccessKelsey Needham Dancause, Dima Mutran et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2016

    Prenatal maternal stress can adversely affect birth outcomes, likely reflecting effects of maternal stress hormones on fetal development. Maternal stress might also induce behavioural changes, such as dietary change, that might influence fetal development. Few studies have documented relationships between stress and dietary change in pregnancy. We analysed stress and dietary change among 222 pregnant women exposed to the 2011 Queensland Floods. W…

  • Service‐wide management of healthy gestational weight gain following an implementation science approach

    Open AccessShelley A Wilkinson, Elin Donaldson et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2016

    The aim of health guidelines is to ensure consistency in the delivery of care to minimise health-related complications. However, even when good evidence is available, professionals do not necessarily implement it. Following a 2011 survey (Time 1) of staff in a tertiary maternity hospital, a number of service changes were implemented to facilitate best practice delivery of care to pregnant women regarding gestational weight gain (GWG). A (second) …

    Open AccessPenny Curtis, Helen Stapleton et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2011

    Findings may pose challenges for contemporary health promotion and policy agendas which presume that parents have the ability and resources to control and direct children's eating in a unidirectional and authoritative manner

  • Bonny babies? Motherhood and nurturing in the age of obesity

    Julia Keenan, Helen StapletonARTICLEHealth Risk & Society2010

    The ‘bonny’ baby is traditionally the prized emblem of good health, yet there has been speculation that within the context of rising levels of obesity and diabetes within childbearing populations that this may change. Within epidemiological understandings, obesity and diabetes in pregnancy are strongly implicated in the increasing numbers of very large babies. Given the power of biomedical risk discourses to shape women's experiences of pregnancy…

The findings discussed in this paper are based on analyses of interviews with 51 service managers and questionnaire returns from 205 …

  • Breast or bottle? Eating disordered childbearing women and infant‐feeding decisions

    Open AccessHelen Stapleton, Anna Fielder et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2008

    Debates about infant-feeding methods have intensified in recent years with increasing pressures on women living in industrialized nations to breastfeed their infants. This paper, based on a qualitative study of 16 childbearing women with a pre-existing eating disorder living in the north of England, examines participants' motivations for, and understandings of, infant-feeding decisions and practices. In this study, a small number of participants …
