What is it about?
This study is about patterns of prenatal risk factors and their relations to interactional quality (Early Relational Health Screen), parenting stress (Parenting Stress Index), and child internalizing and externalizing behaviors (Infant-Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment). We found that prenatal risks seem to cluster together in specific constellations that differentially relate to parent, child and interactional outcomes.

Why is it important?
The work is timely being 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
Although it is well known that multiple prenatal risk factors are associated with adverse developmental outcomes, this study highlights how such risk factors tend to cluster in specific constellations, and how they may relate to later child and parental outcomes.
