Article Abstract
Objective: Describe self-relating (self-criticism, self-compassion) and parenting competence (satisfaction, self-efficacy) in mothers of children born preterm, and their associations with child characteristics, maternal sociodemographics at childbirth, and maternal concurrent well-being.
Study Design: The sample comprised 1926 biological mothers of 3- to18-year-old children born preterm with self-ratings on the standardized Forms of Self-Criticising/Attacking & Self-Reassuring Scale, Self-Compassion Scale, and Parenting Sense of Competence Scale.
Results: Mothers of children in early childhood reported significantly (p < 0.05) lower self-compassion than in middle childhood and adolescence. They also reported significantly lower parenting satisfaction than mothers of adolescents and higher self-efficacy than their middle childhood counterparts. Maternal psychosocial well-being was most strongly associated with self-compassion, parenting satisfaction, and self-efficacy after accounting for maternal psychopathology, child gestation, and child age.
Conclusion: Longer-term associations of preterm birth with maternal self-relating and parenting competence emphasize broadening the scope of neonatal follow-up services, extending beyond child neurodevelopmental surveillance and postpartum psychopathology screening.

However, these studies did not fully account for early life contextual factors or test whether the beneficial associations between higher neurocognitive functioning and mortality extend to children exposed to early adversity.
Objective: To explore how the associations of child neurocognition with mortality changed according to the patterns of adversity children experienced.

Housing insecurity is a key social determinant of a wide range of health outcomes, subject to large racial inequities, and with a likely sensitive period in childhood. Housing insecurity can manifest in multiple ways and change over time, but previous studies have primarily focused on single dimensions or a single time point. This study examines cumulative exposure to multiple forms of housing insecurity from birth to adolescence, overall, and by race in large US cities.
