While psychological impacts of caring for a child with special health care needs (CSHCN) are documented, associations with maternal physical outcomes such as PPWR remain unclear. This analysis aimed to evaluate whether child health status, specifically having a CSHCN, is associated with maternal PPWR. Understanding this relationship may inform targeted interventions during the perinatal period to improve maternal health outcomes and reduce long-term obesity risk. 000002716 540__ $$fCC BY 000002716 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002716 650__ $$aWeight Gain$$028406 000002716 650__ $$aObesity$$023118 000002716 650__ $$aDisabled Children$$032045 000002716 650__ $$aWomen$$027986 000002716 650__ $$aPostpartum Period$$036216 000002716 650__ $$aLogistic Models$$028819 000002716 650__ $$aEpidemiology$$018518 000002716 650__ $$aOutcome Assessment, Health Care$$029660 000002716 650__ $$aGestational Weight Gain$$012900 000002716 6531_ $$apuerperium 000002716 6531_ $$amothers of children with disabilities 000002716 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002716 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000002716 7001_ $$aHoffmann, Laurel$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002716 7201_ $$aAdams, Elizabeth$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor$$eMentor 000002716 8564_ $$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2716/files/20140102.hoffman.laurel.pdf$$9586068ba-0f98-4071-aca8-21c0d4a49042$$s2344566$$ePublic$$31$$2fcccaf0ce9357372f1ec6653c0627370 000002716 905__ $$a/rest/prod/mw/22/v5/63/mw22v563h 000002716 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2716$$pstudent-work 000002716 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000002716 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
