It has been proposed that early risk constellations link differentially to later developmental outcomes. However, existing studies often use a limited set of indicators, excluding genetic and child-based risks. is also unclear if the protective effects potential moderators, such as kindergarten experiences, differ across groups. Using data from Norwegian Mother, Father Child (MoBa) cohort study (n = 7,478), we established latent classes based on family, child, factors measured up 3 years age. The were then compared parent-rated internalizing externalizing symptoms academic performance at 8 years, well registry outcomes reflecting child diagnoses national test scores ages 11-14 years. Potential moderating (student-teacher closeness, social play behaviors structured pre-academic activities) examined.

Опубликована: Май 16, 2025

Mobile health (mHealth) interventions offer scalable and personalized options for promotion, which is particularly important during the vulnerable postpartum period. The engagement effectiveness of mHealth approaches in psychosocially burdened populations remains understudied. Understanding how different target groups interact with settings essential to optimize their feasibility enhance implementation ensure effectiveness. intervention I-PREGNO was tested two randomized controlled trials (RCTs; n=172). This study evaluated compared (e.g., usage patterns, usability) groups: parents psychosocial burden a blended counseling (BC) trial versus from general population using app self-guided (SG) manner. Both received access 12 weeks within first year postpartum. BC group (n=39) additionally by healthcare professionals, while SG (n=133) used only app. completed online questionnaires at baseline post intervention.

User needs were assessed through focus group discussions with mothers healthcare professionals (HPs; stage I). In II, prototype developed evaluated usability tests walkthrough HPs (stage III). Finally, behavior change techniques implemented using an existing taxonomy IV). revealed as well end‐users would benefit from addresses psychosocial aspects (i.e., emotion regulation, coping) links these behaviors. identified period combined translated 12 modules.
