Title of project:
Association between perinatal risk factors and child cognitive and emotional development.
Proposal summary:
Aims:
There is growing evidence that perinatal maternal depression is associated with impairments in child cognitive development. However, there is very little empiracal evidence of the long term impact. There is only one small UK study which has investigated the association between postnatal depression and academic achievement at the end of school. Data from large prospective studies is therefore needed. Furthermore, the developmental trajectory of cognitive impairment is unclear and can only be tested in longitudinal studies with repeated assesment of cognition across domains
