Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Socioemotional functioning in 18-month-old infants of parents with or without SMI operationalised as visual social attention (%initial look; %attention) obtained via eye tracking. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Exploration of differences between offspring from parents with vs. without SMI, using follow-up questionnaires, blood/saliva and hair samples to measure: • parent-child dynamics (over time) • child temperament (over time) • child socioemotional development • PGR scores for SMI • Hair cortisol levels And explore the role of these factors in social-emotional functioning as measured by eye-tracking (i.e., primary endpoint). | — |
