What this research studies
We want to understand how various life challenges and supports, from personal experiences to broader community factors, shape the well-being of parents and their children during the crucial years from pregnancy to early childhood. Our team will build on information from a previous long-term project that followed mothers and their infants. We will reconnect with these mothers and their co-parents when their children are four years old to learn more about their experiences with both difficulties and helpful resources. This will help us see how different types of risks and protective factors influence families over time.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: This project focuses on families who previously participated in the "Infant Growth and Development Study" and are now being recontacted when their children are around four years old.
Not a fit: Patients not previously enrolled in the specific "Infant Growth and Development Study" would not be eligible for direct participation in this recontact effort.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: This work could help us better understand how to support families and children facing multiple life challenges, leading to improved programs and resources.
How similar studies have performed: This project expands upon an existing successful longitudinal study, building on previously collected data and established methods.
