Quick Navigation

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal of this study is to examine attentional biases for facial displays of emotion as a mechanism of risk in infants of mothers with postpartum major depression, and the potential role of infant arousal in the development of these attentional biases.

Standard Ages:CHILD, ADULT, OLDER_ADULT

Inclusion Criteria	Exclusion Criteria
* The high-risk group (n = 150) will consist of women with at least one episode of MDD since their baby's birth. To qualify for the low-risk group (n = 75), women cannot have a history of any depressive disorder or any current psychiatric diagnoses. Our goal with this recruitment strategy is to maximize variability in levels of depression observed during infants' first two years of life. The two groups will be matched on demographic factors (e.g., age, race/ethnicity, income). Infants will be required to be singleton children born full-term (\> 37 weeks) and normal weight (\> 2,500 grams) with no birth complications or health problems to avoid medical complications contributing to infants' attention, reactivity, and regulation measures.	* Additional exclusion criteria are diagnoses of alcohol or substance use disorders currently or at any point during pregnancy, or lifetime history of bipolar or psychotic disorders.
