        Developing an Online Tool to Promote Safe Sun Behaviors With Young Teenagers as Co-researchers

        Maternal prenatal stress exposure and sex-specific risk of severe infection in offspring

Few studies have investigated whether prenatal stress is associated with increased overall or specific infectious diseases in childhood, nor explored sex differences. We sought to examine the relationship between the nature and timing of maternal stress in pregnancy and hospitalisation with infection in offspring. ...
