Prenatal Programming of Children's Mental Health: Epigenetic Mechanisms and Resilience Promotion
EF 2015-16
Résumé
Risk factors for disease can develop in utero, and children's mental health in early life plays an important role in later disease development. This research will 1) test whether multiple sources of stress during pregnancy predict biological marks in the offspring and whether those marks predict children's mental health early in life 2) identify prenatal and postnatal protective factors that promote resiliency to the development of disease risk in offspring. Findings will inform interventions to reduce disease in childhood and beyond and may lead to effective prevention efforts.
