This study aimed to assess the association between adherence to a Mediterranean-style diet during pregnancy and measures of social impairment in a racially diverse, prospective birth cohort. We analyzed 821 mother?child pairs from the Boston Birth Cohort, including 52 children with an ASD diagnosis. Maternal Mediterranean-style Diet Scores (MSDS) during pregnancy were calculated using food frequency questionnaires administered 24?72?h after delivery. Child social impairment was assessed using Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS). Restricted cubic spline models were used to explore potential non-linear relationships between MSDS and SRS total scores. Linear regression models were used to quantify associations between MSDS tertiles and children's SRS total scores and scores across five SRS subdomains. An L-shape association was observed between maternal MSDS and SRS total scores. Compared to the children of mothers in the lowest MSDS tertiles, those in the middle (beta (95% CI)?=??4.95 (?9.59, ?0.31)) and highest tertiles (?5.13 (?9.48, ?0.79)) had significantly lower SRS total scores, indicating reduced social impairment. Associations were particularly pronounced in the social cognition and social communication subdomains. Greater maternal adherence to a Mediterranean-style diet during pregnancy was associated with better social interaction and communication development in children. These findings underscore the critical role of maternal nutrition in child neurodevelopment, highlighting potential targets for early risk assessment and prevention efforts.

The impact of COVID-19 on psychiatric clinical encounters among low-income racially-diverse children / Serena A. RUSK in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 65-5 (May 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 65-5 (May 2024) . - p.631-643 Titre : The impact of COVID-19 on psychiatric clinical encounters among low-income racially-diverse children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Serena A. RUSK, Auteur ; Jessica DIBARI, Auteur ; Dana M. MASON, Auteur ; Mengmeng LI, Auteur ; Xiumei HONG, Auteur ; Guoying WANG, Auteur ; Colleen PEARSON, Auteur ; Gabrielle MIROLLI, Auteur ; Tina L. CHENG, Auteur ; Michael D. KOGAN, Auteur ; Barry ZUCKERMAN, Auteur ; Xiaobin WANG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.631-643 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background There is a lack of longitudinal data to examine the impact of COVID-19 on all types of clinical encounters among United States, underrepresented BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color), children. This study aims to examine the changes in all the outpatient clinical encounters during the pandemic compared to the baseline, with particular attention to psychiatric encounters and diagnoses. Method This study analyzed 3-year (January 2019 to December 2021) longitudinal clinical encounter data from 3,394 children in the Boston Birth Cohort, a US urban, predominantly low-income, Black and Hispanic children. Outcomes of interest were completed outpatient clinical encounters and their modalities (telemedicine vs. in person), including psychiatric care and diagnoses, primary care, emergency department (ED), and developmental and behavioral pediatrics (DBP). Results The study children's mean (SD) age is 13.9 (4.0) years. Compared to 2019, psychiatric encounters increased by 38% in 2020, most notably for diagnoses of adjustment disorders, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD). In contrast, primary care encounters decreased by 33%, ED encounters decreased by 55%, and DBP care decreased by 16% in 2020. Telemedicine was utilized the most for psychiatric and DBP encounters and the least for primary care encounters in 2020. A remarkable change in 2021 was the return of primary care encounters to the 2019 level, but psychiatric encounters fluctuated with spikes in COVID-19 case numbers. Conclusions Among this sample of US BIPOC children, compared to the 2019 baseline, psychiatric encounters increased by 38% during 2020, most notably for the new diagnoses of adjustment disorder, depression, and PTSD. The 2021 data showed a full recovery of primary care encounters to the baseline level but psychiatric encounters remained sensitive to the pandemic spikes. The long-term impact of the pandemic on children's mental health warrants further investigation.
