as well as the importance of policy efforts targeted at reducing women’s exposure to violence.
In particular, those who are disproportionately exposed to different types of violence merit prioritization of support and targeted prevention efforts!

Our new national @ECHOChildHealth findings (N=1948) in @sppejournal show maternal exposures to #adversity/#stress during her #childhood & #pregnancy independently predict offspring #pediatric #mentalhealth at age 5, but ALSO interact to exacerbate risk. 1/ https://t.co/OybRJLJghI

Last year I taught myself R with resources I primarily found via Twitter. I've been meaning to share some of the resources here, and I finally have a little time today. So here they are... 🧵

Some interesting work supporting what we’ve often discussed in some of my #research circles- eliminating the GRE requirement increases access for #underrepresented students and doesn’t impact student #success metrics! https://t.co/yO6AkFZE1R

[Kristen L Rudd, PhD @KristenLRudd]

Results point to #adversity #prevention having a two-generation impact and that pre- and postnatal family-focused intervention targets may help curb the rising rates of children’s mental health problems.
