Impact of Perinatal Escitalopram Exposure on Adolescent Behavior
Get PDFEscitalopram (EST), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), is an antidepressant frequently used during pregnancy, yet there is limited knowledge of its long-term effects on maternal use. Past studies suggest that maternal exposure may adversely affect the fetus, which may be due to the hyperserotonergic environment caused by the nature of SSRIs during early development. Modifications of the serotonergic system in offspring during certain critical periods of development may result in long-term behavioral and cognitive changes in adulthood. Further, recent human studies have demonstrated that prenatal exposure to SSRIs in humans may increase susceptibility to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and developmental delays. This study examines behavioral and social changes in adolescent rats exposed to escitalopram during postnatal days (PD) 1-10. Eight nulliparous female Long-Evans rats (n = 4 per exposure group) were injected with 10 mg/kg or in 1ml/kg of saline for 10 days. Male and female adolescent offspring were subsequently tested on a battery of behavioral tasks consisting of open field conflict, saccharin taste neophobia, and social approach tasks. Significate decreases in female social interaction were found, as well a moderate increase in inhibitory, anxiety-like behavior in both males and females in the EST group. These findings suggest the occurrence of profound behavioral modification during critical developmental phases, particularly in the neonatal stage, following maternal exposure to escitalopram

RESILIENCE IN FATHERHOOD: EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF ABSENT FATHERS ON BLACK AMERICAN MEN\u27S PARENTING NARRATIVES AND PRACTICES
Get PDFThis study explores the role of Black American fathers and how they parent in the absence of their fathers growing up. Though a common narrative frames Black fathers as largely absent in the lives of their children, recent literature has aimed to demystify societal factors that may lead to this judgment. Influences such as media representation, welfare policies, and child support laws may contribute to the preservation of this trope (Rambert, 2021). Considering this misconception, it is important to advance the knowledge regarding Black fatherhood through their lived experiences despite circumstances that may perpetuate this myth.
The primary goal of this study will be to illuminate the challenges that Black fathers may face and identify what influences have contributed to their successful engagement in their children’s lives. This qualitative research study utilized an inductive exploratory approach. Participants were recruited using a non-probability snowball sampling method which yielded six eligible respondents from various metropolitan cities across the U.S. Within a neutral setting, qualified participants were interviewed using open-ended questions about their experiences, and responses were analyzed utilizing conventional content analysis to identify common themes and subthemes (Hsieh & Shannon, 2005). This study yielded several themes including Black fathers\u27 perspectives on fatherhood, revealing a commitment to stability, protectiveness, and dedicated support for their children. Fathers highlighted the value of modeling behaviors they did not see in their childhood and the benefits of having a village in support of their efforts despite the many barriers they face. This study highlights the value of Black fathers’ presence in the lives of their children and the importance of creating equitable approaches to support, specifically in societal systems that often leave Black fathers feeling ostracized instead of empowered
