Early Psychosocial Intervention and Child and Parent Cardiovascular Disease Risk

Project Narrative The origins of cardiovascular disease can be found in early life. This project aims to understand how mechanisms within the family influence physiological risk factors for cardiovascular disease among children and parents. We will do this by assessing parents and children part of an ongoing coparenting intervention trial, which will furthermore allow us to study potential effects of such an intervention on parent and child cardiovascular disease risk, and may inform future prevention efforts.
