The Fourth Annual Outstanding Student Papers in Maternal and Child Health Showcase
This annual showcase is a collaborative effort between the Maternal and Child Health Section and the Association of Teachers of Maternal and Child Health and is designed to promote academic contributions and achievement in maternal and child health (MCH) among graduate students. The papers were chosen as the most outstanding student papers submitted for consideration. This year’s presentations touch on a variety of topics within MCH including social determinants of health, post partum depression, post-partum nutrition, verbal ability and physically aggressive behavior, and risk-taking behavior among South Africa youth.
Learning Objectives: At the end of this session the learner will be able to: 1) Discuss the associations between women’s social status and child health and well-being at the state level, 2) Describe neighborhood effects on fruit and vegetable consumption among women from a low-income, post-partum population, 3) Recognize the impact of demographic, family, pregnancy, and infant characteristics on the risk of post-partum depression, 4) Identify the interrelationship between children’s verbal ability, maternal depression, and physical aggression, and 5) Describe contextual and social factors that may contribute to risk-taking behavior among young, rural South African youth.
