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.
