Quick Summary
A Singapore study tracking 328 mother-child pairs has found two distinct pathways linking maternal mental health to child outcomes at age four. The research from ASTAR Institute for Human Development and Potential (ASTAR IHDP), in collaboration with the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), and KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH), draws on data from the Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Outcomes (GUSTO) birth cohort.
