The relationship between prenatal illness and its impacts on developmental ASQ scores: An examination of the effects on early development
Abstract
Our data comes from COVID-19 and Perinatal Experiences (COPE) study which assesses the experiences of birth parents during the pandemic and the effects of birth parent stressors on the child’s development. Our research seeks to explore the impact of a birth parent's health during pregnancy on a child's developmental outcomes. We will utilize self-reported surveys from birth parents concerning any prenatal illnesses and their child's developmental progress at 12 months. We hypothesize that birth parents who experience illnesses during pregnancy will have children who reach developmental milestones at a slower rate than expected by the Ages and Stages Questionnaire.
