The investigators propose to evaluate the potential utility of stress-related biomarkers
obtained via dried blood spots (DBS) and retinal scans by collecting new data from mothers
and children within the New Haven MOMS Partnership, a well-established community-partnered
research setting. The proposed research could greatly advance the application of
stress-related biomarkers within community-based research by increasing our understanding of
how stress, trauma, and depression influence biology in childhood and adulthood, as measured
using minimally-invasive approaches.
