Researchers suspect that children born to mothers who were abused by their partner during pregnancy are disadvantaged in terms of their development. They are more likely to experience mental health and cognitive problems over their life and an increased risk of neuro-developmental problems like Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Dyspraxia. In order to design effective interventions to help children whose mothers were abused while pregnant with them, it is essential for us to understand the pathways that link abuse during pregnancy to child outcomes. ALSPAC has the data needed to understand these kinds of pathways. Our project seeks to use the data to test which pathways are most important, helping us to understand the kind of support that abused mothers need to minimise the long-term effects of abuse on their child.
