Background: This study aims to examine the relationship between maternal antenatal and postnatal depressive disorders and the risk of disruptive behavioural disorders (DBDs) in offspring, including conduct disorder (CD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), to enhance understanding and address gaps in the literature.
Methods: We utilised a large administrative health dataset from New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Maternal perinatal depressive disorders and offspring DBDs were identified using International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) codes.

Background: Preterm birth (PTB) is a leading cause of neonatal mortality, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where 40% of global neonatal deaths occur. We identified and combined demographic, clinical, and psychosocial correlates of PTB among Kenyan women to develop a risk score.
Methods: We used data from a prospective study enrolling HIV-negative women from 20 antenatal clinics in Western Kenya (NCT03070600).

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on assessing the reliability and validity of the Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS) for measuring maternal-foetal attachment in pregnant women, highlighting the need for improved psychometric properties.
- Researchers analyzed data from 184 pregnant women, comparing the original 19-item MAAS to a newly introduced 13-item brief German version, using various statistical methods to evaluate internal consistency and construct validity.
- Findings showed that the brief German MAAS outperformed the original version in terms of reliability and validity, suggesting it may be a more effective tool for measuring maternal attachment during pregnancy.

Backgrounds: Negative cognitive styles (NCSs) have been identified as risk factor for the onset of depression. However, little empirical evidence is available to support its role in psychological disorders in the perinatal period. Moreover, less is known about the underlying mechanism in the relation between NCSs and depression in pregnant women.
