In this Papers Podcast, Layla Rashid discusses her JCPP paper ‘Maternal experienced bereavement and offspring mental health in early adulthood: the role of modifiable parental factors’ (https://doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.13963). Layla is the first author of the paper.
There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.
Discussion points include:

• Bereavement prevalence rates and child outcomes.
• Importance of understanding the role of parental factors to target resources to mitigate the relationship between child bereavement and later psychopathology.
• Insight into the surprising findings from the study.
• The role of positive and negative parenting practices as it relates to bereavement and child and adolescent mental health.
