中文摘要
我们考察一项围产期心理社会干预对母亲心理健康与儿童技能发展轨迹（从出生至3岁）的影响。我们发现，该干预改善了母亲的心理健康与功能状况（0.17至0.29个标准差），对育儿方式产生了幅度较小但估计不精确的改善（0.07至0.11个标准差），并使儿童社会情绪发展出现暂时性改善（0.06至0.39个标准差）。该干预对身体健康和认知能力的影响微乎其微。技能生产函数的估计结果表明，该干预减弱了母亲抑郁与儿童结果之间的负向关联，并缩小了孕期抑郁母亲与未抑郁母亲的子女之间的结果差距。
Abstract
We investigate the impacts of a perinatal psychosocial intervention on trajectories of maternal mental health and child skills, from birth to age 3. We find improved maternal mental health and functioning (0.17 to 0.29 SD), modest but imprecisely estimated improvements in parenting (0.07 to 0.11 SD), and transitory improvements in child socioemotional development (0.06 to 0.39 SD). The intervention had negligible influence on physical health and cognition. Estimates of a skill production function reveal the intervention attenuated the negative association between maternal depression and child outcomes, and narrowed outcome gaps between mothers who were and were not depressed in pregnancy.
