This project investigates the long-term effects of prenatal stress on stress hormones and behavior during early childhood in a subset of participants recruited for the Stress in Pregnancy (SIP) study, which is a diverse, New York City-based birth cohort. Longitudinal biological and behavioral data were collected from children prenatally exposed to Superstorm Sandy – a hurricane that made landfall in the New York metropolitan area as a post-tropical cyclone in October 2012. Superstorm Sandy served as an objective prenatal stressor and quasi-randomized participants to the prenatal stress condition. We investigated the effects of prenatal exposure to Superstorm Sandy on stress hormones (cortisol, cortisone, and DHEA), behavioral difficulties, and adaptive skills.
