A pilot evaluation of the Alliance against Violence and Adversity (AVA) Triadic Mentorship Program
Background Both gender-based violence (GBV; violence enacted based on perceived or actual gender, predominantly affecting girls, women, and gender-diverse people) and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs; household adversities before 18 years of age such as physical abuse) reduce quality of life. ACEs can also amplify the risk of later GBV. Despite extensive study, GBV and ACEs remain inadequately addressed, largely linked to the siloed approaches…
Positive and negative partner relationship quality and mental health
Both ambivalent (high positive and negative quality) and indifferent (low positive and negative quality) partner relationships are associated with poor health. It is not known why ambivalence is health predictive in some studies and indifference in others. Measurement selection could be an explanation, with support-seeking measures linked to ambivalence and overall positive and negative relationship quality measures to indifference. No research h…
Childhood Adversities and the ATTACHTM Program’s Influence on Immune Cell Gene Expression
Maternal ACEs could exert an intergenerational impact on child inflammatory activity, and this association could be moderated by participating in the ATTACHTM parenting intervention
Mothers’ and Children’s Mental Distress and Family Strain during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Mothers' mental distress, but not children's, was associated with family strain during the pandemic. More distressed individuals experienced greater family strain over time, suggesting that this association may become a chronic problem

Effect of Attachment and Child Health (ATTACHTM) Parenting Program on Parent-Infant Attachment, Parental Reflective Function, and Parental Depression
High-risk families exposed to toxic stressors such as family violence, depression, addiction, and poverty, have shown greater difficulty in parenting young children. In this study, we examined the effectiveness of ATTACHTM, a 10−12 session manualized one-on-one parental Reflective Function (RF)-based parenting program designed for high-risk families. Outcomes of parent-child attachment and parental RF were assessed via the Strange Situation Proce…
Cross-Sectional Study Protocol for the Covid-19 Impact Survey of Mothers and Their 7–11 Year Old Children in Alberta, Canada
Objectives: Our aim is to understand the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on families who have been followed longitudinally in two cohorts studied in Alberta, Canada. We will examine household infections during the COVID-19 pandemic, financial impact, domestic violence, substance use, child school and daily life and relationships in the home. We will identify risk and protective factors for maternal mental health outcomes using longitudinal data t…
Interactions between race/ethnicity, poverty status, and pregnancy cardio-metabolic diseases in prediction of postpartum cardio-metabolic health
Background: Prenatal health disparities exist for African Americans and low socioeconomic status (SES) individuals when compared to non-Hispanic Whites and people of higher SES, particularly in cardio-metabolic diseases. Furthermore, having had a pregnancy-specific cardio-metabolic disease, e.g. preeclampsia, increases risk for future cardio-metabolic disease. Although these factors (race, SES and pregnancy cardio-metabolic disease) are interrela…
Alzheimer's Disease Caregivers' Health and Important Resources
In this issue of Psychosomatic Medicine , Mausbach and colleagues report that Alzheimer's disease caregivers who engage in more pleasant leisure activities had lower blood pressure for 5 years compared with those who engage in fewer leisure activities. This novel finding suggests that something as simple as taking more walks in the park or more time for reading books could protect the physical health of caregivers. In this editorial, we review po…
Early-Life Socioeconomic Disadvantage and Metabolic Health Disparities
OBJECTIVE: A quarter of the world's population have metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS prevalence is stratified by socioeconomic status (SES), such that low SES is associated with higher MetS risk. The present study examined the relative roles of early-life SES and current SES in explaining MetS risk. METHODS: Participants (N = 354; ages = 15-55 years, M [SD] = 36.5 [10.7] years; 55% female; 72.9% white, 16.9% Asian, 10.2% others) were evaluated for…
