Prenatal stress exposure among Black American women: Implications for maternal and child health outcomes
Fri, April 9, 11:35am to 1:05pm EDT (11:35am to 1:05pm EDT), VirtualSession Type: Paper Symposium
Abstract
Maternal levels of stress during pregnancy have been associated with a range of adverse outcomes including maternal mental health and offspring birth outcomes. These relationships have not been well characterized in populations that are disproportionately affected by contextual stressors and suboptimal outcomes, such as Black American women living in low-resourced environments. To address the dearth of research in this area, the presentations for this symposium are drawn from a well-characterized sample of Black American women (N=148) and their offspring followed during and after pregnancy. Study 1 examines relationships between prenatal maternal stress exposure and mental health outcomes, with particular attention to suicidal ideation. Study 2 explores the influences of discrimination stress and identity on physiological responses to laboratory stressors. Study 3 characterizes prospective associations between maternal sleep quality and birth outcomes. Study 4 considers how prenatal stress exposure impacts offspring effortful control. Characterizing these processes across the perinatal period is crucial to predicting and preventing adverse health outcomes for pregnant women and their offspring. Taken together, these findings shed light on processes underlying the persistence of health disparities in maternal and child health and inform future efforts to develop preventive interventions.
