Path Models with Prenatal and Postpartum PTSS Predicting Infant Socioemotional and Physical Health Problems

	Socioemotional Problems at 12 Months β (SE)	Chronic Physical Health Problems at 12 Months β (SE)
Model 1: Main Effects
Prenatal PTSS	.01 (.09)	.14 (.09)
12-month PTSS	.01 (.09)	.11 (.09)
R²	.07^*	.07^*
Model 1a: Prenatal PTSS x 12-Month PTSS
Prenatal PTSS	.01 (.09)	.14 (.09)
12-month PTSS	.01 (.09)	.13 (.09)
Prenatal PTSS X 12-month PTSS	.03 (.06)	.03 (.08)
R²	.08^*	.07^*

Note. PTSS = posttraumatic stress symptoms. β = beta (standardized), SE = standard error. All models controlled for maternal age, maternal ethnicity, primiparous status, socioeconomic adversity, and infant prematurity. In Model 1, socioeconomic adversity was positively associated with socioemotional problems (β =.18, p < .01) while infant prematurity was positively associated with chronic physical health problems (β =.15, p < .05). These covariates, and no others, remained significant in Model 1a.

p < .05.
