Summary
This study tests whether a home visiting program for mothers facing stress or past trauma can improve their mental health and their child's emotional and behavioral development. Researchers will follow 352 mother-child pairs from pregnancy until the child is 18 months old. They will also look at biological markers like heart activity and DNA changes to understand how the program might work.
