Importance: Short sleep duration during pregnancy and the perimenopausal period has been associated with adverse cardiometabolic outcomes. However, it remains unclear how sleep duration changes after delivery and whether such changes are associated with the cardiometabolic health of birthing people.
Objective: To investigate whether persistently short sleep during pregnancy and after delivery is associated with incident hypertension and metabolic syndrome.
Use of cannabis and alcohol were common during pregnancy and the first year postpartum among people with HIV in the United States (2007-2019), but there were no major differences in substance use during pregnancy based on mode of HIV acquisition. The relatively high prevalence of substance use in this population, particularly postpartum alcohol and cannabis use, warrants further attention.

This registered report addressed this gap by training one group of participants to listen well as speakers discuss their character strengths, allowing us to isolate the role relational listening plays in strengths-based conversations. Participants were paired and randomly assigned to a high-quality listening (experimental) or moderate-quality listening (comparison) condition manipulated through a validated video-based training.

- This study investigates the link between adverse pregnancy outcomes (like gestational diabetes and preterm birth) and the risk of developing cognitive impairment and dementia in women.
- Researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of various studies, ensuring to include only relevant data while excluding certain groups (like men and women without pregnancies).
- The findings aim to provide clarity on whether complications during pregnancy may elevate the long-term risk of cognitive decline in women.
Objective: To evaluate the association between area poverty and adverse birth outcomes in the diverse birthing population of a large health system.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study using electronic health record and hospital administrative data for pregnant people at nine hospitals within a large health system in the Chicago metropolitan area from 2018 to 2023. Patient addresses were geocoded and categorized by Census tract area percent poor households.
