Path Models with PTSS and Parenting Stress Predicting Infant Socioemotional and Physical Health Problems

	Socioemotional Problems at 12 Months β (SE)	Chronic Physical Health Problems at 12 Months β (SE)
Model 3: Main Effects
Prenatal PTSS	.04 (.07)	.12 (.08)
12-month PTSS	.04 (.08)	.01 (.08)
12-month Parenting Stress	.48 (.06) ^***	.11 (.07)
R²	.26^***	.07^*
Model 3a: Prenatal PTSS x 12-Month Parenting Stress
Prenatal PTSS	.04 (.07)	.12 (.08)
12-month PTSS	.03 (.08)	.01 (.08)
12-month Parenting Stress	.49 (.06) ^***	.11 (.08)
Prenatal PTSS X 12-month Parenting Stress	−.06 (.06)	−.02 (.07)
R²	.26^***	.07^*

Note. PTSS = posttraumatic stress symptoms; DS = depressive symptoms. β = beta (standardized), SE = standard error. All models controlled for maternal age, maternal ethnicity, primiparous status, socioeconomic adversity, and infant prematurity. In Model 3, socioeconomic adversity was positively associated with socioemotional problems (β =.16, p < .01) while infant prematurity was positively associated with physical health problems (β =.14, p < .05). These covariates, and no others, remained significant in Model 3a.
