  • Type and developmental timing of childhood adversity predicts psychopathology symptoms in a South African birth cohort

    Open AccessSherief Y Eldeeb, Brooke G McKenna et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2026

    Background Childhood adversity is widespread globally and is one of the strongest predictors of later psychopathology. However, the differential effects of type and timing of childhood adversities on childhood psychopathology remain unclear, highlighting the need to explore which life-course hypotheses (sensitive periods, accumulation of exposure, and/or recency of exposure) best explain these associations. Of particular importance, there is a la…

  • The relationship between type, timing and duration of exposure to adverse childhood experiences and adolescent self‐harm and depression

    Open AccessBushra Farooq, Abigail Emma Russell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2024

    BACKGROUND: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are well-established risk factors for self-harm and depression. However, despite their high comorbidity, there has been little focus on the impact of developmental timing and the duration of exposure to ACEs on co-occurring self-harm and depression. METHODS: Data were utilised from over 22,000 children and adolescents participating in three UK cohorts, followed up longitudinally for 14-18 years: th…

  • Testing lifecourse theories characterising associations between maternal depression and offspring depression in emerging adulthood

    Open AccessRebecca Lacey, Dawid Gondek et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023

    BACKGROUND: Maternal depression is a major determinant of offspring mental health. Yet, little is understood about how the duration and timing of maternal depression shapes youth risk for depressive symptoms, which if understood could inform when best to intervene. This study aimed to determine how the timing and duration of maternal depression was related to offspring depression in emerging adulthood, and if these associations varied by sex. MET…

  • Maternal dietary patterns during pregnancy and intelligence quotients in the offspring at 8 years of age

    Open AccessAna Amélia Freitas-Vilela, Rebecca M Pearson et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2017

    Dietary intake during pregnancy may influence child neurodevelopment and cognitive function. This study aims to investigate the associations between dietary patterns obtained in pregnancy and intelligence quotients (IQ) among offspring at 8 years of age. Pregnant women enrolled in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children completed a food frequency questionnaire at 32 weeks' gestation (n = 12,195). Dietary patterns were obtained by clus…

  • Dietary patterns by cluster analysis in pregnant women

    Open AccessAna Amélia Freitas-Vilela, Andrew Smith et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2016

    Little is known about how dietary patterns of mothers and their children track over time. The objectives of this study are to obtain dietary patterns in pregnancy using cluster analysis, to examine women's mean nutrient intakes in each cluster and to compare the dietary patterns of mothers to those of their children. Pregnant women (n = 12 195) from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children reported their frequency of consumption of 47 …
