The transmission of perinatal maternal mental health to preschool emotional disorders: Examining pathways and intervention points in the MPEWS study

众所周知，怀孕期间的抑郁、焦虑和压力会增加儿童心理健康状况较差的风险，但预防这种风险传递的关键途径和干预点是未知的。本研究将通过选择队列研究：Mercy妊娠和情绪健康研究来探讨潜在的机制和干预点。这项研究跟踪了500名妇女和她们的孩子，从怀孕的头三个月一直到孩子三岁。

While it is known that depression, anxiety and stress in pregnancy increase the risk for poorer child mental health, what is unknown is the key pathways and intervention points to prevent this transmission of risk. This study will examine potential mechanisms and intervention points through a selected cohort study: Mercy Pregnancy and Emotional Wellbeing Study. This study follows 500 women and their children from first trimester in pregnancy until the children are 3 years of age.
