5/24 Healthy Brain and Child Development National Consortium
Role Description: Various adverse and protective environments may affect child development. The Healthy Brain and Child Development National Consortium (HBCD-NC) will follow 7,500 mothers and their children from 24 locations across the U.S. from before birth to 10 years of age to better understand which harmful and protective environments exert the greatest impact on child development. This study will help to improve the health and development of children across the nation.

Elucidating Mechanisms of Pregnancy's Protective Effect on Drug Abuse Using Integrated Data Analysis
Role Description: This study examines the precise timing, nature, and modifiable determinants of spontaneous change in cigarette smoking during pregnancy to identify novel mechanisms that disrupt addictive processes. To overcome methodologic limitations of prior studies, we conduct within-person, within-pregnancy, and between- pregnancy analyses of existing quantitative and qualitative data derived from multiple longitudinal prenatal tobacco exposure cohorts.
Role: Principal Investigator

2/2 Optimizing access, engagement and assessment to elucidate prenatal influences on neurodevelopment: The Brains Begin Before Birth(B4 ) Midwest Consortium
Role Description: The multidisciplinary Brains Begin Before Birth (B4) Midwest Consortium brings together unique, complementary expertise from bioethicists, neuroscientists, population health, exposure, clinical and developmental scientists from Washington University and Northwestern University to investigate this critical issue. Using innovative methods and strategies, we generate best practices recommendations for addressing the key legal/ethical, recruitment/retention and assessment challenges to conducting a large, national multi-site study characterizing the impact of early life exposure on brain and behavioral development across childhood.

IMPACT OF PRENATAL CANNABIS USE ON PREGNANCY AND BIRTH OUTCOMES
Role Description: The implications of recent changes in policy, potency, and public perceptions of cannabis in the United States remain to be fully elucidated. we estimate the unique effect of prenatal cannabis exposure on two well-established obstetric biomarkers of neurodevelopmental risk—infant weight at birth and gestational age at delivery — independent of other drug exposures and known sociodemographic confounders. To accelerate progress, we employ integrated analysis of existing data from three independent NIDA-funded longitudinal prenatal exposure cohorts contributed by a team of leading developmental scientists.

Cognitive-Affective Substrates of Smoking: Targets for Maternal Behavior Change
Role Description: This study examines directly observed processes related to sensitive caregiving in relation biomarker-verified smoking behavior during pregnancy using extant data (Aim 1); and a new pilot study (Aim 2). Laying the groundwork for her mechanistic program of research, the PI receives mentored training in the multi-level measurement of behavioral and biological substrates of caregiving.

Cognitive-Affective Substrates of Smoking: Targets for Maternal Behavior Change
Role Description: In this adminstrative supplement, we examined sex differences in pregnancy-associated change in smoking in as sample of n=60 opposite sex expectant parent dyads (N=120) bringing the total K award sample to N=214. This design also enables the PI to collect pilot data supporting this approach for disentangling processes associated with anticipation of a new child common to both sexes, from sex-specific neurobiological processes associated with pregnancy unique to the expectant mother.

CAN PRENATAL PLASMA OXYTOCIN CONCENTRATION PREDICT LIKELIHOOD OF POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION? AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EARLY INTERVENTION AND PREVENTION IN A VULNERABLE POPULATION
Role Description: This study examines the relationship between third trimester plasma oxytocin concentration and depressive symptoms at 6 weeks postpartum in a sample of non-smoking normal weight pregnant females with singleton gestations recruited from local obstetric practices. The long-term goal is to elucidate the role of oxytocin in postpartum mood disturbances to optimize screening and prevention.
Role: Principal Investogator
