OBJECTIVES: (1) To determine the strength of association between persistent asthma and development of depressive symptoms during childhood, (2) To determine the strength of association between persistent depressive symptoms and development of asthma during childhood. CONCLUSIONS: Children with persistent asthma and children with chronic illness have increased odds of developing new signs of depression over a 2-year period. Unexpectedly, children with depressive symptoms have almost 2 times the odds of children of developing asthma over a 2-year period. More research on the biologic interaction between childhood affective disorder and allergic illness is warranted.

Objective: To determine the strength of association between persistent asthma and development of depressive signs and symptoms during childhood.

Background: Several cross-sectional studies have proposed a significant association between asthma and depression during childhood. Most rely on parent report. None have examined a longitudinal national sample.

Design/Methods: The NLSY 1994 and 1996 surveyed a representative sample of children in the United States. Independent Variables: Asthma was defined by parent report of child diagnosis. Chronic illness was defined by parent report that the child had physical health limitations but no asthma. All other children were defined as "healthy." Outcome Variables: Depressive symptoms were defined by parent report (subscale of Behavior Problems Index >75%ile). Prevalence was defined by >75%ile in 1996. Incidence of depressive symptoms was defined by <75%ile in 1994 and >75%ile in 1996. Logistic regression analyses included 7 demographic and socioeconomic variables.

Results: 4798 subjects had complete information from the BPI in 1994 and 1996. Within that population, 91 cases of asthma and 39 cases of chronic illness were identified. The median age of children in the study was 11 years.

Conclusions: Children with persistent asthma have over 3.7 times the odds of children without chronic illness to develop new signs of depression over a 2-year period. Clinicians should anticipate the mental health needs of children with persistent asthma and other physical illness, and further research should investigate the biologic plausibility of interactions between asthma and affective illness.

Objectives: To examine the association between maternal relationship status during pregnancy and infant birth outcomes.

Methods: Observational study of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, a nationally representative sample of 12,686 men and women between the ages of 14 and 21. We used data from surveys of women reporting childbirth between 1979 and 2004. Relationship status was defined as relationship with an opposite-sex partner in the child's birth year. Relationship stability was defined as the consistency in relationship status in the 1 year before, of, and after the child's birth. Childbirth outcome included small-for-gestational age (SGA) infant. We applied random effects logistic regression models to assess the association between relationship status and stability and childbirth outcome—adjusting for maternal race, infant sex, history of miscarriage, employment, maternal age, multiparity, cohort-entry year, household poverty status, and tobacco use.

Results: The study included 4439 women with 8348 live births. In fully adjusted models, term SGA infants were more commonly born to partnered women (AOR 1.81; 95 % CI 1.20–2.73) and unmarried women (AOR 1.82; CI 1.34–2.47; LRT p value 0.0001), compared to married women. SGA infants were also more commonly born in unstable relationships (AOR 1.72; 95 % CI 1.14–2.63; LRT p value 0.01) compared to stable relationships.

Conclusions for Practice: Maternal relationship status and stability during pregnancy is independently associated with risk of SGA infant birth.
