About this Digital Document
The study investigates the relationship between maternal mental health, encompassing maternal depression and general distress, and child self-regulation and externalization behaviors at grade 5, across three ethnic groups: European American, African American, and US-Mexican American. The research employs regression models to explore potential cultural differences in this relationship. The findings highlight the importance of considering cultural backgrounds when designing preventions and interventions targeting maternal mental health and its impact on child development. Specifically, the study reveals that the association between maternal mental health and child outcomes varies across the three ethnic groups examined.
