“Health care providers may not recognize or encourage close contact with infants, nor view infant behavior as shaping the health and well-being of parents. The concept of the 4th trimester moves the conversation forward from treating mothers and infants as separate individuals to considering them as mutually regulating dyads.”

]]> New mother-infant dyads are at risk for a host of clinical concerns, including unmet breastfeeding goals, perinatal mood disorders, unsafe infant sleep practices, incontinence, tobacco recidivism, chronic disease and lack of access to acceptable contraception. These problems are extraordinarily common – affecting between one quarter and more than half of the 4 million women who give birth each year – but treatment is uneven, and health care is often fragmented. To our knowledge, no project has identified patient-centered outcomes in this period or prioritized questions for comparative effectiveness studies. Our project aims to address this gap.
