Early life influences on child and adolescent mental health problems: A life-course approach to prevention [ 2013 - 2019 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Monique Robinson (Principal investigator)

Brief description Many children experience mental health problems such as depression and anxiety, causing emotional pain for families and a huge economic cost for society. I aim to prevent these problems before they start. By identifying influences in a pregnant woman’s environment that might lead to mental health problems in her child, such as stress, fertility problems and environmental dangers, we can target these influences early and build positive mental health for children right from the very start of life.
