Depression in Early
Parenthood
A wide range of poor child and family outcomes have been associated with
depression in mothers. Dr.
Paulson’s research focuses on developing a better understanding of the
incidence, causes, and consequences of depression in fathers as well as
the status of parental depression from a family systems perspective. The
practical application of this work is in enhancing the early detection
and treatment of parental depression and developing early preventive
intervention to minimize the severity and impact of depression among
parents.
Early Fatherhood
Education and Father Involvement
Men who are well-prepared to make the transition to fatherhood tend to
experience less stress and depression, show more positive involvement
with their child and their child’s mother, and may be less likely to
engage in inappropriate, harsh, and abusive parenting.
Dr. Paulson’s research in this area focuses on understanding what
makes early fatherhood programs more attractive and engaging while
addressing knowledge and skill areas that new fathers need.
This research is focused on the development of a universal
preventive new fatherhood program.
