Summary

The investigators propose to evaluate the potential utility of stress-related biomarkers obtained via dried blood spots (DBS) and retinal scans by collecting new data from mothers and children within the New Haven MOMS Partnership, a well-established community-partnered research setting. The proposed research could greatly advance the application of stress-related biomarkers within community-based research by increasing our understanding of how stress, trauma, and depression influence biology in childhood and adulthood, as measured using minimally-invasive approaches.

Conditions

• Psychological Stress

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Biological Sample Collection	Anthropomorphic biomarkers including height, weight, heart rate, and blood pressure will be taken for each participating mother and child by a research assistant trained to accurately perform these procedures. Blood spots will be collected in finger stick proficiency, using trigger activated lancets to administer finger sticks. Each participating mothers and child will provide a saliva sample using Oragene DNA saliva collection kits
