Dr. Doom will discuss findings using longitudinal data demonstrating associations between early unpredictability, harshness, and deprivation and later mental and physical health. She will discuss the understudied role of micronutrient deficiencies in understanding cognitive, emotional, behavioral pathways to later health. Finally, she will discuss work on social buffering suggesting that there may be developmental changes in social relationships that determine who may be effective buffers of stress to improve health across the lifespan.
