This project examines the widespread effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on developmental milestones and variation in child development by family risks in a US national cohort. It has four specific aims: (1) evaluate whether developmental milestones changed during the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) determine whether pandemic impacts on developmental milestones vary by child age; (3) determine whether pandemic impacts on developmental milestones vary by maternal depressive symptoms; and (4) determine whether pandemic impacts on developmental milestones vary by family social risk.
