Abstract

PROJECT ABSTRACT This diversity supplement application aims to support candidate training aims focused on prenatal maternal adversity, data analysis, and scientific communication to support the candidate’s long term goal of pursuing a career in Clinical Psychology focused on mental health interventions among perinatal populations with adversity. During this award, the candidate will examine the moderating role of prenatal maternal adversity on the association between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and perinatal maternal depression in a prospective pregnancy cohort at NYU Grossman School of Medicine (4R00HD103910-03). Through the training and research aims embedded in this award, the candidate will develop expertise in longitudinal perinatal research in understudied communities to understand the impact of perinatal adversity.
