Supporting Perinatal Mental Health & Parenting to Promote Early Childhood Development
An overview of my program of research, which aims to improve early childhood development across three integrative projects: (1) elucidating the interplay of risk and resilience factors at an epidemiological level;
(2) using these findings to inform the co-development of innovative programs at the clinical level; and (3) applying equity frameworks to embed implementation of programs at the health systems level. Each level includes a secondary data analysis component (of large existing cohort and population databases) as well as a component for new data collection using cutting-edge approaches (DTI neuroimaging, eHealth clinical trials, partner-engaged co-design).
