title: Nonstandard maternal work schedules and infant mental health in impoverished families: A brief report.
abstract: Guided by a bioecological model, this study examines variability in infant mental health by maternal work schedule in the context of poverty. More time in irregular work schedules, but not fixed night/evening schedules, predicts maternal depression and subsequent behavior problems in infants.
