What early-life information was recorded before researchers assessed preschool attachment?
Following families from the perinatal period makes the order of measurements visible when interpreting attachment patterns.
Who was studied?
Mother-child dyads in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition cohort
Age / stage: Pregnancy to preschool
Read with three questions
- What early-life information was recorded before researchers assessed preschool attachment?
- What was measured at each observation, and what other influences might account for the link?
- Which features of the study population (mother-child dyads in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition cohort) would matter when applying the findings in another setting?
Keep the limits in view
The APrON cohort provides measurements from pregnancy into childhood, but the observed predictors were not randomly assigned and some families may be lost to follow-up.
