The Effects of Early Psychosocial Deprivation on Cardiometabolic Risk in Early Adulthood
Description: Project Narrative In this proposal we build on a unique randomized controlled trial of foster care as an alternative for institutional care based in Bucharest, Romania. This valuable sample of children will be studied when participants are 22 years of age when we will examine the long-term consequences of early psychosocial deprivation and early intervention on cardiometabolic risk factors and health behaviors at the start of adulthood. This project will contribute significantly to our understanding of ways in which children exposed to early psychosocial deprivation are affected by their experiences and will directly inform policies and clinical practices.
