In their current state of development, home visitation programs do not appear to represent the low - cost solution to child health and

outcomes and effective practices may lead to the development of replicable programs that are capable of producing modest but consistent and positive
results for participating target families.

developmental pathways and
outcomes has now been recognized, even in areas that have traditionally been seen as almost exclusively the
result of socialization, such as conduct problems, empathy and the development of conscience.
The study's senior author, Associate Professor Natasha Nassar from the University of Sydney Menzies Centre for Health Policy said: «While the association between being born earlier — lower gestational age — and poorer
developmental outcomes is well established, our
results revealed that poor development is further exacerbated in the case of planned birth, where a considered decision made to deliver an infant determines gestational age.
The effects of breastfeeding on children's development have important implications for both public - health policies and for the design of targeted early intervention strategies to improve the
developmental outcomes of children at risk as a

These
results are similar to those found in other sustained nurse home visiting studies, 1 14 although the intervention impacted on a broader range of domains of the home environment for this subgroup of women than has been reported previously.1 An increasing body of evidence from both animal and human studies suggests that stress in pregnancy has significant impacts on
developmental and behavioural
outcomes for children.29 While the mental development of children of mothers who were not distressed antenatally in both the intervention and comparison groups was comparable with the general population, children's development was particularly poor in the distressed subgroup in the absence of the MECSH intervention, suggesting that sustained nurse home visiting may be particularly effective in ameliorating some adverse
developmental impacts for children of mothers with antenatal distress.
These findings extend the substantial body of behavioral data demonstrating the deleterious effects of poverty on child
developmental outcomes into the neurodevelopmental domain and are consistent with prior
results.8, 9 Furthermore, these study findings extend the available structural neuroimaging data in children exposed to poverty by informing the mechanism of the effects of poverty on hippocampal volumes.
Temperament's influence on
developmental pathways and
outcomes has now been recognized, even in areas that have traditionally been seen as almost exclusively the
result of socialization, such as conduct problems, empathy and the development of conscience.
Developmental change occurs as a
result of reciprocal interactions between the intrinsic characteristics of a child and his environmental context, making the child both the producer and product of the environment.50 Behavioural inhibition may initiate a child in one of a number of directions, and the targeted
outcome can
result from a host of predisposing pathways.10 Research must therefore account for a number of potential moderating factors that can come into play at various points throughout development.
Developmental outcomes of children in foster care Overall, the existing research suggests that children in foster care have more compromised developmental outcomes than children who do not experience placement in foster care.31 However, there is considerable variability in the functioning of foster children, and it is difficult to disentangle the multiple preplacement influences on foster children from those that result from the foster care exper

result from the foster care experience itself.
For example, in the NSCAW study, foster children with experiences of severe maltreatment exhibited more compromised
outcomes.32 Other scholars suggest that foster care may even be a protective factor against the negative consequences of maltreatment.33 Similarly, it has been suggested that foster care
results in more positive
outcomes for children than does reunification with biological families.34 Further, some studies suggest that the psychosocial vulnerability of the child and family is more predictive of
outcome than any other factor.35 Despite these caveats, the evidence suggests that foster care placement and the foster care experience more generally are associated with poorer
developmental outcomes for children.
Controlling for endogenous covariates (including school quality) thus has the net
result of denying the possibility that there are multiple pathways by which the neighborhood may influence
developmental outcomes among children (22).

developmental outcome, we subsequently outline why it is deemed important, why we expect maternal PPD to have a negative effect on the

outcome in previous studies, and finally what our study may add to the
results of any previous studies.
While most
results in this study pointed in the direction of more unfavourable
developmental outcomes for children of PPD mothers, one
result contradicted this pattern: daughters of mothers who had PPD were rated as less externalizing by their mothers than their counterparts in the community sample.
Univariate
results of the differences between the two samples on children's individual

A possible explanation for these
results may be that daughters might maintain closer contact with their depressed mother than sons, making it more difficult for girls to overcome the emotional unavailability of the mother, and hence leading to more adverse
developmental outcomes.
