Abstract

Considerable animal research and available human studies suggest that psychological distress experienced by mothers during gestation is associated with later neurodevelopmental deficits in offspring however little research has examined potential protective factors that might mitigate this risk The current study examined the impact of maternal prenatal psychological distress during pregnancy on cognitive outcomes in preschoolers ages 25–5 years and positive parenting as a potential protective factor Motherchild dyads N = 162 mean child age = 44 months 49  female were recruited from a longitudinal cohort of women who had previously participated in a study of maternal mood disorders during pregnancy Maternal prenatal distress was assessed with multiple measures collected throughout pregnancy During a followup visit mothers were interviewed about their psychological symptoms since the birth of the child parenting behaviors were recorded during a parentchild interaction and children’s cognitive abilities were measured using the Differential Ability Scales 2nd Edition Maternal prenatal distress significantly predicted lower general cognitive abilities however this relationship was strongest for children whose mothers exhibited low levels of positive engagement and not significant when mothers exhibited high levels of positive engagement Results suggest that positive parental engagement can protect against the detrimental effects of maternal prenatal distress on preschoolers’ cognitive abilitiesNARSAD Independent Investigator Award to Brennan and NIH Grant RC1 MH088609 Emory University Silvio O Conte Center for the Neurobiology of Mental Disease grant MH58922 Specialized Center of Research on Sex and Gender Effects grant MH68036 and National Institute of Mental Health grant MH88609Dr Stowe has received research support from the National Institutes of Health GlaxoSmithKline Pfizer and Wyeth served on speakers or advisory boards for Pfizer Eli Lilly Wyeth BristolMyers Squibb and GlaxoSmithKline and received honoraria from Eli Lilly GlaxoSmithKline Pfizer and Wyeth Dr Newport has received research support from Eli Lilly GlaxoSmithKline Janssen the National Institutes of Health NARSAD and Wyeth served on speakers or ad visory boards for AstraZeneca Eli Lilly GlaxoSmithKline Pfizer and Wyeth and received honoraria from Astra Zeneca Eli Lilly GlaxoSmithKline Pfizer and WyethAll procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards
