项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Nonstandard maternal work schedules or those that exist outside the Monday thru Friday, 8 - 5 norm interfere with optimal child health and development during the first years of life. Parents in impoverished families, particularly mothers, are over-represented in jobs requiring a nonstandard schedule raising concerns that poor children, who are already at risk for poor health outcomes, face additional threats to health and well-being that undermines school readiness and creates a foundation for health disparities across the lifespan. Research to date has not examined the added risk that nonstandard maternal work schedules place on poor children's health and well-being. The goal of this project is to understand the threat of nonstandard maternal work schedules to poor children's physical and emotional well-being. To achieve this goal and inform potential policy solutions to the threat, this project will collect prospective data from a randomly selected community-based cohort of economically disadvantaged mothers of infants (N=450) to: 1) Delineate differences in physical health and emotional well- being at 30 months among children living in poverty whose mothers had a nonstandard schedule job in the first year relative to those whose mothers had a standard work schedule; 2) Quantify the degree to which variation in parenting practices and maternal well-being explain differences in the physical health and emotional well- being of children living in poverty by maternal work schedules; and 3) Identify individual, familial, and social factors that serve as protective factors for children living in poverty among mothers working a nonstandard work schedule during their infants' first year of life.. The project will recruit mother-infant dyads when children are 3 months of age and follow them until children are 30 months. Hypotheses related to each specific aim will be tested by fitting linear mixed effects models to account for the correlation among outcomes assessed over time. Project results will provide needed information to help protect at risk children. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The project examines the extent to which mothers' employment in a nonstandard schedule job predicts differences in impoverished children's physical health and emotional well-being at 30 months. Documenting whether nonstandard maternal work schedules undermine children's well-being and understanding the mechanisms by which it occurs are important first steps in conceiving, designing, and implementing policies that protect children, particularly those living in poverty who are already at risk for poor health outcomes.

描述（由申请人提供）：非标准的孕产妇工作时间表或周五至8-5规范在生命的最初几年中的最佳儿童健康和发展的情况。贫困家庭，特别是母亲的父母在需要非标准时间表的工作中代表过度代表，他们担心贫困儿童已经面临不良健康成果的风险，面临着对健康和福祉的额外威胁，破坏了学校的准备，并创造了整个生命周期内健康差异的基础。迄今为止，研究尚未研究非标准的母亲工作时间表在贫困儿童的健康和福祉上的额外风险。该项目的目的是了解非标准的母亲工作时间表对贫困儿童的身体和情感健康的威胁。为了实现这一目标并为威胁的潜在政策解决方案提供信息，该项目将从随机选择的基于社区的经济弱势群体的群体中收集潜在的数据（n = 450）至：1）在贫困中，贫困儿童中的30个月的身体健康和情感健康的差异，其母亲在母亲中涉及那些母亲的标准工作时间是一名标准的工作时间，而在贫困中有30个月的差异。 2）量化育儿实践和母性福祉的差异解释在孕产妇工作时间表中生活在贫困中的儿童的身体健康和情感福祉的差异； 3）确定个人，家庭和社会因素，这些因素是婴儿在婴儿的第一年期间工作非标准工作时间表中生活在贫困中的儿童的保护因素。该项目将在儿童3个月大的时候招募母亲的二元，并跟随他们直到儿童30个月。通过拟合线性混合效应模型来说明随着时间的推移评估的结果之间的相关性，可以测试与每个特定目标相关的假设。项目结果将提供所需的信息，以帮助保护儿童。公共卫生相关性：该项目研究了母亲在非标准时间表工作中的就业程度可以预测30个月时贫困儿童身体健康和情感健康的差异。记录非标准的产妇工作时间表是否破坏了儿童的福祉，并了解发生这种情况的机制是构思，设计和实施保护儿童的政策，尤其是那些已经处于贫困状况不佳的健康状况下的政策方面，这是重要的第一步。
