What are the long-term outcomes of an early intervention on maternal depressed mood and child cognitive development? Prof. Mark Tomlinson explains.
Learning Objectives
1. Summary of the paper and highlighting the methodology used for the research, and some of the key findings.
2. Mark then provides further insight into the finding that, although the paper describes how caregivers who received a home visiting intervention during their pregnancies and postpartum did show lasting improvements in depressed mood, and that the intervention was also associated with mothers being more sensitive and less intrusive in their interactions with their infants and to a higher rate of secure infant attachment at 18 months, there was a lack of long-term developmental benefit for the children.
3. Discuss what message professionals, researchers, and policymakers should take from his findings, and provide additional information with regard to follow up research.
