This proposal is for a competing continuation of the Providence Family Study (PFS) to complete the first waves of longitudinal assessment on offspring of mothers who have been treated for affective and anxiety disorders. These children were originally recruited when they were 1 year or 2-1/2 years of age and followed every 1-1/2 years until they were 4 years of age. All children will have an assessment at 4 years of age by the end of the proposed project period. The orientation of this project is developmental, contextual, and transactional. The developmental approach is directed at delineating pathways by which perturbations in infant behavior are maintained or transformed as the child moves into early childhood and school age. The contextual approach is directed at identifying factors in the child's experience of the social environment that exacerbate or ameliorate atypical patterns of behavior. The transactional approach is directed at identifying patterns across time in which changes in child behavior may reciprocally affect parental, marital, or family functioning. The aims of this project are (1) to complete the longitudinal assessment of the interrelations among child competence and mental health, family functioning, and social risk and protective factors during infancy and early childhood; (2) to perform a hierarchical analysis of environmental risk and protective factors at levels more or less proximal to the child to determine the relative contributions to mental health of variables at the parent, family, and social context levels; (3) to perform longitudinal analyses of the processes by which specific environmental risks interact with specific child factors to increase or decrease the quantity of behavioral problems from infancy to school age; and (4) to maintain contact with study families after children reach 4 years of age and to continue low-cost assessments of maternal course of illness and child behavior problems, which will facilitate potential follow-up assessments of the study children during the school years. Hypotheses examined are (1) risk from parents with psychopathology will affect the child, reducing levels of developmental competence in the domains of mental health (general social-emotional adjustment), social interaction with family, and individual competence; (2) risk from family dysfunction and discord will be associated with lower levels of child competence; (3) risk from multiple contextual factors will add additional variance in the explanation of child outcomes; and (4) protection from certain child and family characteristics will moderate the effects of risk in these children.

这个提议是为了竞争普罗维登斯家族的延续 完成第一波纵向评估的PFS研究 母亲因情感和焦虑而接受治疗， 紊乱 这些儿童最初在1岁时被招募 或2-1/2岁，每1-1/2年随访一次，直至4岁 岁的 所有儿童将在4岁时进行评估， 项目计划期结束时。 本项目的定位 是发展性的、情境性的和交易性的。 发育 方法是针对划定的途径，扰动， 婴儿的行为会随着孩子进入 幼儿期和学龄期。 上下文方法的目的是 确定儿童社会环境经验中的因素 加剧或改善非典型行为模式的方法。 的 事务性方法的目的是确定不同时间的模式， 儿童行为的哪些变化可能会对父母，婚姻， 或家庭功能。 该项目的目标是（1）完成 纵向评估儿童能力和 心理健康、家庭功能、社会风险和保护因素 在婴儿期和幼儿期;（2）进行分层分析 环境风险和保护因素的水平或多或少 近端的孩子，以确定相对贡献的精神 在父母、家庭和社会背景水平上的变量的健康状况;（3） 对特定的过程进行纵向分析， 环境风险与特定的儿童因素相互作用， 减少从婴儿期到学龄期的行为问题数量; （4）在孩子达到4岁后与学习家庭保持联系 并继续对产妇病程进行低成本评估， 疾病和儿童行为问题，这将有助于潜在的 在学年期间对研究儿童进行后续评估。 研究的假设是：（1）父母有精神病理学意愿的风险 影响儿童，降低儿童的发展能力水平， 心理健康领域（一般社会-情绪调节）、社会 与家庭的相互作用和个人能力;（2）来自家庭的风险 功能障碍和不和谐将与较低水平的儿童 能力;（3）来自多种背景因素的风险将增加额外的 儿童结局解释的差异;（4）保护儿童免受 某些儿童和家庭特征将缓和风险的影响 在这些孩子身上。
