This $176,255 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The goal of the project is to assess how social stressors over the maternal life course contribute to racial inequities in maternal and infant health outcomes in the United States.

The research team at the University of Nevada, Reno will conduct secondary analyses of longitudinal data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) to investigate how adolescent social contexts and early-life disadvantage shape pre-pregnancy stress pathways linked to disparities in birth outcomes, maternal mental health, and accelerated maternal aging. The proposed project has three main aims: 1) identify how early-life disadvantage contributes to racial birth outcome inequities through pre-pregnancy stress, 2) examine how early-life disadvantage shapes racial inequities in post-childbirth maternal stress, mental health, and aging via pre-pregnancy stress, and 3) determine the role of adolescent contextual factors in explaining or modifying these maternal and birth outcome inequities.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will serve as a sub-awardee, providing expertise and support for the project through its Carolina Population Center.
