Consultant perception of the feasibility and effectiveness of infant and early childhood mental health consultation services provided virtually to early care and education
A growing body of research suggests that infant and early childhood mental health consultation (IECMHC) is effective in improving child outcomes and classroom quality in early care and education (ECE) settings. However, there is limited research regarding the provision of IECMHC virtually (e.g., by phone or video conferencing platform), and the transition to virtual services in the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic provided an opportunity to learn…
Assessing the Impact of a Culturally Congruent Perinatal Home-Visiting Program on Gestational Age at Delivery for Black Women
Purpose: There is a Black maternal health crisis in America, with significant racial disparities in birth outcomes for Black women in Washington, DC. Programs designed to reduce these inequities must intentionally address the role of systemic racism and the ongoing legacy of oppression that is endemic to traditional perinatal care services. This article describes the findings from the quantitative analysis of an innovative perinatal program (Moth…
How Should We Measure Effectiveness of Medical-Legal Partnerships
Medical-legal partnerships (MLPs) try to mitigate health inequity by uniting legal and health professionals to respond to legal determinants of patients' health. While there is a long tradition of "patients-to-policy" work in MLPs, the current empirical evidence base has evaluated MLP effectiveness by assessing benefits to individual patients, clinicians, and hospital and legal systems. This article calls for future research to measure how commun…
Essential elements of infant and early childhood mental health consultation
Co-creating a Legal Check-up in a School-based Health Center Serving Low-income Adolescents
Social determinants of health play a significant role in health disparities, and there is a need for innovative solutions to screen and address these in vulnerable populations. Other partners can learn from our experiences to co-create their own approach to addressing health-harming legal needs
The role of consultative alliance in infant and early childhood mental health consultation
Young children's social–emotional development is powerfully shaped by their early environments, which for many includes early childhood education (ECE). Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (IECMHC) pairs teachers and infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH) consultants to promote teachers’ capacity to foster positive social–emotional development in ECE. Although the outcomes of IECMHC have been well studied, little resea…
Expulsion prevention
Young children of color—especially boys—are at disproportionate risk for suspension and expulsion from early care and education settings. Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (IECMHC) is an approach associated with lower than expected expulsion rates, but the mechanisms through which it may influence preschool expulsion are unknown. This paper reflects on the parallels between IECMHC and interventions created to reduce implicit b…
Preventing Perinatal Depression in High Risk Women
Low-Level Symptoms of Depression in Mothers of Young Children are Associated with Behavior Problems in Middle Childhood
Integrating Perinatal Depression Screening Into WIC at a Federally Qualified Health Center
Successful integration of the Patient Health Questionnaire, a 2-question validated depression screener in this co-located WIC program, demonstrates the feasibility of this approach for other communities
Using an Optimality Index to Understand Perinatal Health Disparities
Purpose: This study demonstrates preliminary evidence of the utility of an optimality index as a simple tool for monitoring complications across the perinatal period. Method: The medical records of 147 Latina women participating in a preventive randomized controlled trial for perinatal depression were reviewed for outcomes across the perinatal period. Results: Application of the optimality index found optimality scores ranging from 77.3% to 97.7%…
Six-Month Outcomes from a Randomized Controlled Trial to Prevent Perinatal Depression in Low-Income Home Visiting Clients
The Latent Symptom Structure of the Beck Depression Inventory
Prevalence and Risk Factors for Postpartum Depressive Symptoms Among Women Enrolled in WIC
In Their Own Voices
We conducted exit interviews with a random sample of 39 predominantly Central American immigrant mothers who had completed a longitudinal randomized controlled trial to prevent perinatal depression. We found that rates and levels of perinatal depression in the intervention and control groups were lower than expected and did not differ between groups at 1 year postpartum. Therefore, we conducted extensive semistructured interviews to (a) understan…
Building the evidence base for early childhood mental health consultation
Assessing fidelity for early childhood mental health consultation
Early childhood mental health consultation (ECMHC) has become a common approach to delivering mental health services and supports for young children, their families, and the early care and education community. While many states and communities are implementing some form of ECMHC, the evidence base is still developing. One obstacle to building a rigorous evidence base has been a lack of focus on fidelity measurement, and one barrier to fidelity as…
Correlates of Unintended Birth Among Low-Income Hispanic Immigrants at High Risk for Depression
Perceptions of Mental Health Services among Low-Income, Perinatal African-American Women
Perceived Satisfaction With Social Support and Depressive Symptoms in Perinatal Latinas
Purpose: This study examined the relationship between satisfaction with social support and postpartum depressive symptoms in Latinas. Design: A secondary data analysis of 62 women at “high risk” or “low risk” for postpartum depression (PPD) was conducted during pregnancy and at 1 month postpartum. Results: High-risk Latinas were less satisfied with perceived perinatal support from the baby’s father and postnatal support from family and “others.” …
Transforming an evidence-based intervention to prevent perinatal depression for low-income Latina immigrants
There is growing interest in examining the extent to which evidence-based interventions, found to be efficacious for majority populations, are effective for low-income, ethnically diverse populations. Yet limited attention has been devoted to documenting the specific steps taken in adapting these interventions to meet the needs of the target ethnic population. This article describes the cultural adaptation of an evidence-based cognitive-behaviora…
