About this study
Official title: Maternal Mood, Anxiety or Personality Disorders and Their Offspring Mental Outcomes
Pregnant women consecutively referred to the Perinatal Psychiatric Outpatient Department, those in charge of the Psychiatric Outpatient Department and pregnant healthy controls from the general population will be recruited on a voluntary basis. Mothers will be tested with the EPDS, BAI, BDI, WHOQOL, SCID II and CTQ; their children will be tested with the CBCL between 18 months and 5 years.
Read the detailed description
in order to attest possible psychic outcomes in offspring of mothers affected by psychiatric disorders due to maternal psychopathology (with an in-depth evaluation about the role of maternal personality disorders), the investigators recruit all the women consecutively referred and admitted to the Perinatal Psychiatric Outpatient Department from January, 2011 to December, 2016, due to the manifestation of psychic suffering during pregnancy.
During their first appointment, patients are routinely administered the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis II Disorders (SCID II), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), World Health Organization Quality of Life Instruments (WHOQOL-BREF), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Beck Depression Interview (BDI) and Beck Anxiety Interview (BAI). The Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I.) is used to confirm clinical diagnosis.
As a control samples, the investigators recruited pregnant patients belonging to the Outpatients Psychiatric Department who did not have psychiatric issues linked to their pregnancy or in the relationship with their children and pregnant healthy controls among the general population, with no history of mental health issues. Controls were tested as the clinical sample.
All the patients will be asked to complete a caregiver report form, the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), once their children were at least 18 months old.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| "PERINATAL" | Pregnant women consecutively referred and admitted to the Perinatal Psychiatric Outpatient Department | |
| "OUTPTS" | Pregnant women belonging to the Outpatients Psychiatric Department who did not have psychiatric issues linked to their pregnancy or in the relationship with their children | |
| Healthy controls | Pregnant women the general population, with no history of mental health issues |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
offspring mental outcomes
Mothers are given the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), a widely used caregiver report form identifying problem behavior in children. For the preschool version of the CBCL (CBCL/1½-5), parents or others who interact with the child in regular contexts rate the child's behavior. Respondents rate the child's behavior on a 3-point scale (not true, somewhat or sometimes true, and very true or often true), and are instructed to rate the behavior as it occurs now or within the previous two months. This delineation differs from the instructions on other age-versions, due to the fact that rapid development and behavioral changes in the preschool age range are common. The preschool checklist contains 100 questions about behavior problems.
CBCL scores are divided in: "emotionally reactive", "anxious/depressed", "somatic complaints", "withdrawn", "sleep problems", "attention problems", "aggressive behavior", "externalize", "internalize", "other problems", "total".
Measured: 18 months-5 years old

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Intergenerational Relations, run by University of Milano Bicocca.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
offspring mental outcomes (time frame: 18 months-5 years old). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03897816, which also lists 23 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Apr 2019.
