Obesity is a burdensome chronic disease that affects a large proportion of adults and children in the United States. The underpinnings of adult obesity may be laid in childhood with children who are obese five times more likely than their non-obese peers to be chronically obese into adulthood. Due to this persistence throughout the lifespan, it is imperative to further understand how the origins of adult obesity are shaped in childhood. Recently, there has been an increased interest in studying how psychosocial stressors may influence weight status in children and adults. Yet, gaps exist in the literature on childhood stress that, if investigated, could lead to identification and intervention of children that are at higher risk of obesity. Prior work utilizing nationally representative surveys investigating stress and child health outcomes have not considered all stressful experiences when identifying children who have highly stressful lives and have not explored the distribution of stressors by race. By including many stressful experiences, a complete picture of childhood stress and its overall effect on child health can be observed. The first study of this dissertation used the nationally representative National Survey of Children’s Health to cross-sectionally explore associations between stress and health outcomes. Nineteen potentially stressful exposures from multiple domains of life were assessed. Children with complete data on all covariates were classified as low (0-3), elevated (4-5), or high (6+) stress based on the total number of stressful experiences. Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic children had increased prevalence of high stress (42.0% and 32.6%) compared to non-Hispanic other (26.9%) and non-Hispanic white (23.0%) children. Children with high stress had 2.03 times the prevalence of obesity (95% CI: 1.76-2.33) for non-Hispanic white, 1.47 (95% CI: 1.03-2.11) for non-Hispanic Black, 2.00 (95% CI: 1.43-2.80) for Hispanic, and 2.81 (95% CI: 2.01-3.94) for non-Hispanic other when compared to low stress children of the same race/ethnicity. High stress was associated with a 10.5 (95% CI: 8.78-12.6), 7.54 (95% CI: 3.69-15.4), 4.16 (95% CI: 1.36-12.7), and 10.2 (95% CI: 6.00-17.3) increase in prevalence of depression for non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic other children. This analysis used a nationally representative sample to generate evidence that non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic children aged 10-17 years old experience higher stress. For children, experiencing high stress was associated with obesity and history of depression and anxiety. Stress as an exposure for children has also been measured using parental stress and mental health. But the association between maternal depression and child obesity is inconclusive with few studies also considering paternal depression. While 1 in 6 mothers experience anxiety, little research has explored the influence of parental anxiety on adolescent weight and mental health. The second study of this dissertation used the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (SECCYD) to further this area of stress research. Within the SECCYD, depressive symptoms were measured 11 times for mothers and 6 times for fathers and anxiety symptoms were measured 5 times for both parents of children aged 1 month to 15 years. Patterns of parental depression and anxiety were classified as never, once, recurrent, or chronic and the association between parental patterns of mental health and adolescent obesity and mental health were estimated. Analyses included 859 children, of which 28.2% and 28.4% had mothers with chronic depressive and chronic anxiety symptoms, respectively. No differences were observed in obesity for children of parents with chronic symptoms of depression or anxiety. Children of parents that experienced both high depressive and anxiety symptoms had a 0.27 (95% CI: 0.02-0.53) and 0.30 (95% CI: 0.06-0.19) increased Children’s Depressive Inventory (CDI) z-score. Children of single mothers with high depressive and anxiety symptoms had a 0.30 (95% CI: 0.09-0.52) and 0.44 (95% CI: 0.19-0.68) increased CDI z-score. No association with CDI z-score was observed for children with at least one parent with no high depressive or anxiety symptoms. These results add to the mixed literature on the association between parental mental health and child obesity but further support studies showing a strong positive association between parental and child depressive symptoms. Interestingly, having one parent with positive mental health may be protective against negative outcomes for adolescents. Among studies of childhood stress and adolescent outcomes, or even adult outcomes, there is no differentiation between the types of stress a child experiences. Different stressful environments and situations generally get combined into a single stress exposure. Yet, these differing types of stress may influence a child differently. Therefore, the third study of this dissertation attempted to identify how sources of stress may affect a child’s health. Data from the SECCYD was again utilized to understand how stress from 7 sources: behavioral, emotional, social, parental, familial, economic, and neighborhood, can differentially influence child outcomes. Additionally, a total stress score was created by identifying children who had high stress from multiple sources. The analyses contained 923 children, of which 778 appeared in both 3rd and 5th grade models. Experiencing high stress in 4 or more of the stress groupings was associated with a 2.09 (95% CI: 1.01-4.35) and 4.48 (95% CI: 2.09-9.62) increased odds of obesity in adolescence in the 3rd and 5th grade models, respectively. Similar patterns were seen with adolescent depressive symptoms. Of the individual sources of stress, economic and neighborhood-based stressors were associated with higher likelihood of adolescent obesity while behavioral, emotional, social, and parental stress was associated with increased adolescent depressive symptoms. These results suggest that targeting different sources of stress may be beneficial for obesity and depression interventions. Obesity does not have a simple, singular solution due to its causes being multifactorial and complex. Obesity prevention should consider the multiple interacting levels that can contribute to changes in weight. This dissertation highlights how stress may be an influential exposure to study as stressors can be individually perceived, influence interactions with others, and be caused by the greater environment. By reducing the effects of childhood stress through proper interventions, the outcomes of obesity and mental health may be minimized and should be further studied, building upon the work of this dissertation.

Mental wellbeing is an integral part of being, and feeling, healthy, and it is estimated that one in four people will suffer from some form of mental illness during their lifetime. In spite of this, it is often overlooked in mainstream healthcare. The overall aim of this book is to provide knowledge and understanding of how mental health affects human beings from conception through to end-of-life, and the challenges that society as a whole has to address in the treatment of mental health. Beginning with an exploration of historical, social and cultural contexts, the book then goes on to discuss mental health care, and mental health promotion, during pregnancy and early parenthood, childhood, adolescence and young adulthood, adulthood for both men and women, and in older people. Containing reflective exercises, the chapters are designed to provide an easily-accessible and engagingly-written introduction to mental health. Containing chapters that can be read and reviewed in isolation, or used as an entire text, Mental Health Across the Lifespan: A Handbook provides a solid introduction to mental health for students. The book will also act as a useful reference for doctors, nurses, midwives, health visitors, allied health professionals, and health and social care support workers who have no specialist mental health training but often work in partnership with, and care for, people suffering from mental health issues.

This volume offers a comprehensive and conceptually integrated overview of the changing biological, psychological, and social/environmental influences on health and illness from the prenatal period through infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Based on the premise that protective and risk factors vary with life stage, several chapters examine the development of major biological systems and the changing role of genetics and environment over time. In addition, they provide information on environmental influences during the prenatal period and early childhood, chronic illness in childhood, and health and health risks in adolescence. Chapters on adulthood give special emphasis to mid-life transitions in health, resiliency in later life, and the impact of caregiving on health. Final chapters focus on death and dying and on an integrative model of health and illness across the life span.

This handbook presents the latest theories and findings on parenting, from the evolving roles and tasks of childrearing to insights from neuroscience, prevention science, and genetics. Chapters explore the various processes through which parents influence the lives of their children, as well as the effects of parenting on specific areas of child development, such as language, communication, cognition, emotion, sibling and peer relationships, schooling, and health. Chapters also explore the determinants of parenting, including consideration of biological factors, parental self-regulation and mental health, cultural and religious factors, and stressful and complex social conditions such as poverty, work-related separation, and divorce. In addition, the handbook provides evidence supporting the implementation of parenting programs such as prevention/early intervention and treatments for established issues. The handbook addresses the complementary role of universal and targeted parenting programs, the economic benefits of investment in parenting programs, and concludes with future directions for research and practice. Topics featured in the Handbook include: · The role of fathers in supporting children’s development. · Developmental disabilities and their effect on parenting and child development. · Child characteristics and their reciprocal effects on parenting. · Long-distance parenting and its impact on families. · The shifting dynamic of parenting and adult-child relationships. · The effects of trauma, such as natural disasters, war exposure, and forced displacement on parenting. The Handbook of Parenting and Child Development Across the Lifespan is an essential reference for researchers, graduate students, clinicians, and therapists and professionals in clinical child and school psychology, social work, pediatrics, developmental psychology, family studies, child and adolescent psychiatry, and special education.
