What is it about?
This study examines how prenatal risk factors cluster and relate to parenting stress, interaction quality, and child internalizing and externalizing behaviors. The findings suggest distinct patterns of prenatal risks are linked to specific parent, child, and interaction outcomes.

Why is it important?
The work is based on latent class analysis of patterns of prenatal risk factors, and how they are associated with developmental outcomes in a large prospective longitudinal cohort up to to 18 months after birth.
Perspectives
While prenatal risk factors are linked to negative developmental outcomes, this study shows these risks often cluster together and may affect future child and parent outcomes.
