Subject:Re: Toxic stress during pregnancy

Hi Frank. I actually do research on children of incarcerated mothers and can't say that I've heard of any studies that have looked at this particular issue, which of course doesn't mean there aren't any. I'l ask around a little to see if anyone knows about this if you'd like. Jane -- __________________________________________________________________________________________ Jane A.

I have two specific questions (and I'd really appreciate suggestions about things that I may be missing). First, I am interested to know if anyone could recommend an article, book chapter, etc., that could provide a good overview of the state of our knowledge about the impact of toxic stress during pregnancy for someone (i.e., a lawyer) who is not a researcher, etc. Secondly, I am interested to know if there have been any studies looking at the impact of a woman's incarceration as a source or form of toxic stress and the impact that this particular stressor may have on the baby. Thank you for any thoughts or leads you may be able to provide. Frank Vandervort -- Frank E.
