Ongoing research

I am project leader for Little in Norway (LiN) study. LiN is a prospective longitudinal population-based study starting early in pregnancy. It was set up to investigate maternal and paternal mental health functioning in the transition to parenthood, detect pathways to healthy and aberrant child development, and generate new knowledge about mechanisms underlying differential child mental health susceptibility. The participants have been followed-up from early in pregnancy with an intensive longitudinal design including data collection at eleven time-points up to child age three years. An 8-year follow-up of the children and parents is currently planned.

Becoming Dad: Expectant Fathers’ Attachment Style and Prenatal Representations of the Unborn Child. Children. ISSN 2227-9067. 10(7). doi: 10.3390/children10071187. Show summary
How expectant fathers think and feel about the unborn child (prenatal representations), has shown associations with fathers’ postnatal parenting behaviors, observed father–infant interactional quality and child cognitive development. There is limited knowledge about fathers’ prenatal representations. The present study examined if fathers’ partner-related attachment styles were related to their prenatal representations of the unborn child. In the “Little in Norway Study”, an ongoing prospective, longitudinal population-based study, 396 expectant fathers completed the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale at enrollment (mean gestational week = 23.76, SD = 4.93), and in gestational weeks 27–35 completed three questions assessing prenatal representations. Correlations of attachment style and prenatal representations were reported using logistic regression analyses. We found that an avoidant attachment style by fathers were predicted to have absent or negative representations on all three items (1) “strongest feeling about the unborn child” (Cl = 1.19–2.73), (2) “thoughts about child personality” (Cl = 1.16–1.87), and (3) “experiences of relationship with the child” (Cl = 1.14–1.75). Father anxious attachment style was not significantly associated with absent or negative prenatal representations. Results suggest that expectant fathers with a partner related avoidant attachment style have an increased risk of having absent or negative prenatal representations of the unborn child.

Parental bonding to their infant is important for healthy parent-infant interaction and infant development. Characteristics in the parents affect how they bond to their newborn. Parental cognitions such as repetitive negative thinking, a thinking style associated with mental health issues, and cognitive dispositions, e.g., mood-congruent attentional bias or negative implicit attitudes to infants, might affect bonding. To assess the influence of cognitive factors on bonding, 350 participants (220 pregnant women and their partners) were recruited over two years by midwives at the hospital and in the communal health care services. Participants were followed throughout the pregnancy and until the infant was seven months old as a part of the Northern Babies Longitudinal Study. Both mothers and fathers took part. First, we measured demographics, repetitive negative thinking, attentional bias, and implicit attitudes to infants during pregnancy, as predictors of bonding two months postnatally. Second, we also measured infant regulatory problems, and depressive symptoms at two months postnatally as predictors of parents’ perception of infant temperament at five months. Robust regression analyses were performed to test hypotheses. Results showed that mothers and fathers differed on several variables. Parity was beneficial for bonding in mothers but not for fathers. Higher levels of mothers’ repetitive negative thinking during pregnancy predicted weaker bonding, which was a non-significant trend in fathers. For fathers, higher education predicted weaker bonding, but not for mothers. Mothers’ perception of their infant temperament at five months was significantly affected by bonding at two months, but for fathers, their depressive symptoms were the only significant predictor of perceived infant temperament. In conclusion, for mothers, their relationship with their infant is essential for how they experience their infant, while for fathers their own wellbeing might be the most important factor. Health care providers should screen parents’ thoughts and emotions already during pregnancy to help facilitate optimal bonding.

Full text in Research Archive Show summary
Transportation of evidence-based programs (EBPs) to a new cultural setting is often preferred over the comprehensive process of developing a new program. Intervention fidelity has been suggested as a predictor of successful transportation. The present study examined whether fidelity and parent behavior improved when implementing the U.S.-developed Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC) intervention in Norwegian child welfare services (CWS). 11 child welfare workers received training and supervision to become ABC parent coaches. Fidelity was assessed through video-recordings of parent coaches' in vivo feedback at each home-visit session. Parent sensitive behavior was assessed using video-recordings of parent–child interactions, recorded before each ABC session. Mixed effects modeling showed that ABC fidelity increased over the course of training and supervision. Furthermore, parent behavior improved over the course of families' exposure to the intervention. These demonstrate that an EBP transported to a novel cultural setting can obtain promising levels of fidelity and intervention outcomes.

Background: Bipolar offspring are considered a high-risk group for developing mental disorders. Developmental outcomes result from additive and interactive effects of biological vulnerability and environmental influences. Mother–infant interactions represent important early environmental influences that may modify infants’ risk of mental disorders. The aim of the current prospective study was to investigate the patterns and development of mother–infant interactions in the first year of life in dyads in which the mothers have bipolar disorder (BD). Methods: Twenty-six dyads in which the mothers had BD and 28 dyads in which the mothers had no mental disorder were video-taped in a free play interaction. The Parent–Child Early Relational Assessment (PCERA) was used to assess the quality of the interactions on three domains (maternal behaviour, infant behaviour and dyadic coordination) at 3 and 12 months of infant age. First, we compared the mother–infant interaction patterns between the two groups at 12 months. Second, we investigated how the patterns developed within and between the groups from infant ages 3 to 12 months. Results: BD dyads demonstrated significantly more challenges in all three interaction domains at infant age 12 months compared to the healthy dyads. This observation was in line with the findings at infant age 3 months. Subdued expression of positive affect and mutual underinvolvement represented core challenges in maternal and infant behaviours in the BD dyads. Continuous difficulties with dyadic coordination and reciprocity were the most concerning interaction behaviours at 3 and 12 months. On the positive side, there was little expression of negative affect or tension in maternal, infant and dyadic behaviour, and some positive changes in infant behaviour from 3 to 12 months. Conclusions: The current results suggest that challenges in mother–infant interaction patterns in the first year of life may enhance the developmental risk for bipolar offspring. Clinical interventions should address both the BD mothers’ needs in relation to postpartum mood deviations and mother–infant interactions. We suggest interaction interventions to promote dyadic coordination and reciprocity, such as helping mothers being more sensitive to their infant’s cues and to provide attuned contingent responses.

Abstract Background Little is known about the mental health of prenatally opioid- and polydrug-exposed youth raised in foster/adoptive families. Aim To compare mental health problems among two groups of youth, one prenatally drug-exposed group with participants who were mainly placed in permanent foster or adoptive homes in early infancy and a group without known prenatal risk factors who were raised by their birth parents. Methods The sample consisted of 45 drug-exposed and 48 nonexposed youth between 17 and 22 years old from an original sample of 136 followed since birth. An extended version of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview was used to assess lifetime psychiatric disorder, and participants completed the Achenbach Adult Self-Report form and Cantril's Ladder of Life Satisfaction Scale. Results A higher proportion of the youth in the drug-exposed group had lifetime experiences with major depressive episodes, alcohol abuse and attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder (OR > 3, p ≤ .030). They scored higher on the aggressive behavior scale, had more sexual partners and were younger at their sexual debut (p ≤ .030). There were no group differences in current self-reported satisfaction with life. Conclusion Youth exposed to drugs prenatally continue to represent a risk group despite early placement in permanent foster and adoptive homes. The factors contributing to this elevated risk may be multifaceted and involve adverse prenatal conditions including but not limited to drug exposure, genetics, and postnatal environmental conditions. The results highlight the need for longitudinal follow-up in the transition to adulthood as well as qualified service provision for these youth and their families.

The association between hair cortisol and self-reported symptoms of depression in pregnant women. PLOS ONE. ISSN 1932-6203. 11(9). doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0161804. Show summary
Depression has been linked to an imbalance in cortisol. Until recently, cortisol has been studied by measuring concentrations at single time points in blood or saliva samples. Cortisol concentrations vary with circadian rhythm and experiences, from time point to time point. The measurement of hair cortisol concentration (HCC) is a new method of accessing mean, long-term cortisol concentrations. Recent studies show positive associations between depression and HCC, and prenatal maternal cortisol is thought to influence the developing fetus. We therefore examined the association between HCC and self-reported symptoms of depression in second trimester pregnant women. Participants were 181 women, recruited between September 2011 and October 2013 to the Little-in-Norway (LiN)-study. These women answered the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Rating Scale (EPDS) on self-reported symptoms of depression, and one cm maternal scalp hair was collected and analyzed for cortisol concentrations. Multiple regression analyses did not show depressive symptoms as a predictor for HCC in our selection of pregnant women, while gestational age was significantly related. In conclusion, our study indicated that symptoms of depression during pregnancy did not predict HCC, but further studies of clinically depressed, pregnant women using gestational age as an adjustment variable are warranted.

Foster children (FC) are at risk of delayed development relative to their peers due to early caregiver disruptions and adverse experiences prior to placement. Descriptive analyses and Linear Mixed Effects (LME models) were used to analyse the cognitive development and social emotional functioning of 60 FC and 42 comparison children (CC) at 2 (T1) and 3 years (T2). Changes in group differences between T1 and T2 were examined, and significant group differences occurred on all cognitive scales, with the FC obtaining lower scores than the CC. An analysis of social emotional functioning revealed significantly more externalising, dysregulation behaviour and poorer competencies among the FC, which exhibited significantly better cognitive abilities and competencies at T2 than T1, with the exception of receptive language. The FC did not demonstrate more negative social-emotional behaviour at T2 (apart from more internalisation behaviour), but failed to catch up with the CC. Young foster children need screening and support to improve their developmental potential.

Relation between social withdrawal symptoms in full-term and premature infants and depressive symptoms in mothers: A longitudinal study. Infant Mental Health Journal.

The objective of this longitudinal study was to investigate the prevalence of infants' social withdrawal and mothers’ depressive symptoms in a cohort of full-term infants and their mothers and in a cohort of moderately premature infants and their mothers at 3, 6, and 9 months’ postpartum. The Alarm Distress Baby Scale (ADBB) was used to assess social withdrawal; the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was administered to ascertain postpartum depressive symptoms. The results revealed a higher proportion of premature infants with social withdrawal at 6 months’ postpartum and significantly higher ADBB composite scores at 3 and 6 months of age, as compared with the full-term infants. A higher proportion of mothers in the premature cohort had symptoms of postpartum depression at the 3-month assessment, and they reported a significantly higher EPDS composite score at 3 months’ postpartum. There was a significant relation between maternal depressive symptoms at 3 and 6 months and infants’ social withdrawal at 9 months, and a significant concurrent relation between the two variables at 6 and 9 months in the full-term cohort. The findings suggest a need to screen for both infant social withdrawal and maternal depressive symptoms in moderately prematurely born infants and their caregivers.

The influence of maternal optimality and infant temperament on parenting stress at 12 months among mothers with substance abuse and psychiatric problems. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology.

The present prospective longitudinal study aimed to investigate the long-term impact of maternal optimality assessed during pregnancy on parenting stress at infant age 12 months. In this study the concept of optimality was utilized to investigate maternal variations regarding resources during pregnancy in relation to later parenting stress, among three different groups of mothers that were recruited from substance abuse treatment, psychiatric outpatient treatment and well-baby clinics respectively. The influence of infant temperament on parenting stress was also examined. All mothers were interviewed during pregnancy. At 12 months, infant temperament (Colorado Childhood Temperament Inventory; Rowe & Plomin, 1977) and stress in the parent and child domain (Parenting Stress Index; Abidin, 1955) were assessed. Results demonstrated higher levels of parenting stress among mothers in the clinical groups, compared to the non-clinical group. Furthermore, it was the maternal psychiatric optimality index in combination with child temperament characteristics (child emotionality) that contributed uniquely to stress in the parent domain, while stress in the child domain was significantly associated only with child temperament characteristics (both child emotionality and soothability). The association between maternal psychiatric optimality assessed in pregnancy, infant temperament and parenting stress when the infants were 12 months old, points to the importance of simultaneously addressing the mothers' own psychological distress, and to support positive mother–infant interactions. Each woman's individual optimality profile may be used to display needs of follow-up in order to prevent enduring effects of non-optimality on parenting stress.

The main aim of this study was to investigate the predictive validity of four different optimality indexes, as well as infant perinatal status, in relation to maternal sensitivity in interaction at 3 months. The four optimality indexes comprised items related to substance abuse, psychiatric condition, relational experience and socioeconomic status (SES). Maternal sensitivity in mother–infant interaction was assessed in two different groups of mothers. One group consisted of mothers with substance abuse and psychiatric problems who underwent treatment during pregnancy. The other group of mothers had neither substance abuse nor psychiatric problems. The expectant mothers were interviewed in the third trimester of pregnancy. Medical records and meconium were obtained from the infants at birth. Three months after birth, maternal sensitivity in mother–infant interaction was assessed. Altogether 79 mother–infant dyads participated in the study. The mothers’ optimality associated with relational experiences, as well as the infants’ perinatal status were found to predict maternal sensitivity in mother–infant interaction at 3 months. The SES index was also significantly related to maternal sensitivity. The relation between group and maternal sensitivity was mediated by the mothers’ optimality associated with relational experiences. This study points to the importance of addressing the mothers’ own relational experiences and their current representations of motherhood during treatment, in order to support and enhance maternal sensitivity.

Substance abuse among parents represents both a prenatal and a postnatal risk to a child's development. Children born to women who have substance abuse problems fall to great risk in terms of developing problems. In this chapter we will begin by describing the effects prenatal exposure to substances has on the development of a fetus and the central nervous system of the child, as well as how this reflects on the child later in life through the stages of toddler, small child, and later in childhood. Then we will discuss the importance seeing a child's issues from a background of several combined factors. Although prenatal exposure to drugs and substances is important, factors derived from the child's postnatal care environment also have a significant effect. An awareness of this complexity of factors is a key to tailoring the type of support and treatment many of these families will need. To conclude our work we want to emphasize the vital importance of employing treatment and support models that are comprehensive enough to consider all the aspects involved, including the substance abuse itself, any mental illness issues, parenting roles, self-help skills and last but not least the great need a child has to have caregivers available with the necessary levels of compassion, sensitivity and emotional availability.

In-depth analyses of parent-child interaction can be cumbersome and cost-intensive. Screening instruments are more user-friendly and inexpensive, but may exclude important information or identify too many false screen-positive cases. Relational Health Screen (RHS) is a new screening instrument for assessment of dyadic interaction quality, but there are no studies comparing RHS to other interaction-classification systems. The present study compares RHS to Parent-Child Early Relational Assessment (PCERA) (Clark, 2010), a comprehensive coding system in which variables assessing dyadic quality conceptually similar to RHS are included.

Bakgrunn: Fødselsdepresjon er en av de vanligste komplikasjonene ved fødsel. Mye av forskningen om fødselsdepresjon handler om de negative påvirkningene depresjonen kan ha på mor og barn. Det foreligger derimot lite kunnskap om hvordan fødselsdepresjon hos mor påvirker far som partner og nærmeste pårørende. Det er viktig med en velfungerende far som kan støtte mor og ta godt vare på spedbarnet i den vanskelige perioden. Det er behov for mer kunnskap om fedrenes situasjon og opplevelser for å forstå hvordan en partner kan bistå best mulig når mor har fødselsdepresjon og hvordan helsesystemer kan tilpasse seg hele familiens behov. Metode: Denne studien har undersøkt hva fedre opplevde som de største utfordringene og hva de opplevde som hjelpsomme tiltak i perioden når mor hadde fødselsdepresjon. Forfatteren utformet og gjennomførte studien i sin helhet. Kvalitativ metode med semistrukturerte intervjuer ble anvendt for å samle inn data. Utvalget ble rekruttert ved hjelp av en psykolog som har jobbet mye med par der mor har hatt fødselsdepresjon, og ved hjelp av Landsforeningen 1001 dager. Utvalget besto av seks menn som alle har opplevd å være partner til en mor som har hatt fødselsdepresjon. Deltakerne bodde forskjellige steder i landet og tilhørte ulike helsestasjoner. Hver deltaker ble intervjuet individuelt om egne opplevelser og erfaringer av å ha en partner med fødselsdepresjon. Intervjuene ble tatt opp på lydbånd og ble transkribert i etterkant. Tematisk analyse ble benyttet for å analysere data. Resultater: Analysen resulterte i tre hovedtemaer: 1: Fars opplevelse av mors fødselsdepresjon, 2: de største utfordringene og 3: hjelpsomme tiltak. Temaet om fars opplevelser ble delt i to undertemaer ut fra hvilke opplevelser som var de mest fremtredende. Det første undertemaet var at barseltiden ble mye vanskeligere enn forventet og det andre at partneren ikke var til å kjenne igjen. De to andre hovedtemaene, de største utfordringene og hjelpsomme tiltak, ble begge delt i seks undertemaer. De største utfordringene fedrene opplevde var at de måtte ta alt ansvaret hjemme, det ble ubalanse i parforholdet og de måtte forholde seg til mye formaliteter knyttet til NAV. De manglet informasjon om fødselsdepresjon, opplevde å bli holdt utenfor i mors behandlingsprosess og noen opplevde lang ventetid for å få profesjonell hjelp for mor. Noe av det fedrene opplevde som mest hjelpsomt var muligheten til å være hjemme for å avlaste mor. Andre hjelpsomme tiltak var familie som kunne stille opp, støttende og forståelsesfullt helsepersonell, åpenhet og samtaletilbud for far. Konklusjon: Hovedfunnene ble diskutert i lys av relevant teori og empiri knyttet til hvordan fødselsdepresjon kan påvirke fedre. Aktuelle implikasjoner for norske helsesystemer og hjelpeapparatet som jobber med familier rammet av fødselsdepresjon har blitt belyst. Det ble for eksempel fremhevet at samtidig som velfungerende og tilstedeværende fedre kan være blant de viktigste og mest hjelpsomme tiltakene i perioden når mor har fødselsdepresjon, opplever fedrene å mangle informasjon og bli holdt utenfor mors behandlingsprosess. Helsevesenet og andre støtteapparat som jobber med forebyggende tiltak og behandling av fødselsdepresjon bør revurdere hvordan fedre håndteres og inkluderes. Det bør sikres at fedrene får tilstrekkelig hjelp, informasjon og støttende tiltak når mor har fødselsdepresjon. I diskusjonsdelen har behovet for videre forskning også blitt fremhevet.

Nasjonalt kompetansenettverk for sped- og småbarns psykiske helse leverer med dette sin anbefaling om utredningsmetoder og behandlingsmetoder ved foreldre-barn sentre, på oppdrag fra Barne-, ungdoms-, og familiedirektoratet. Anbefalingene bygger på innspill fra et samlet fagmiljø, og ved en grundig intern prosess, som er beskrevet nærmere i innledningen. Det er viktig å merke seg at det er særlig tre forhold som avgjør om en metode er god: de psykometriske målegenskapene ved den enkelte metode, nivået på kompetansen og ferdighetene hos den enkelte fagutøver som benytter metoden og at metoden benyttes på målgruppen den er laget for. I dette inngår også en løpende lokal evaluering av arbeidet med å implementere de ulike metoder, slik det er nærmere beskrevet i sluttdelen av anbefalingene. Det er også viktig å bemerke at utviklingen på feltet går raskt, og at anbefalingene derfor bør revideres etter noe tid. Spesielt gjelder dette temaer som i dag er dårlig dekket på grunn av kunnskapsmangel, kanskje spesielt saker knyttet til vold og overgrep. Bemerk også at det foreløpig finnes lite kunnskap om metodenes bruk i saker knyttet til minoritetsproblematikk. En annen viktig presisering er at uavhengig av hvordan foreldre-barn sentrene organiseres, er det avgjørende at det finnes spesialisert kompetanse på utredning og behandling av små barn og deres foreldre.
