Examining the Role of Pain in the Link Between Early Childhood Adversity and Psychopathology
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Parental Support Cold Pressor Task for Child Development. Completed, enrolled 39 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this study is to investigate the role of physical pain in the link between childhood adversity and later psychopathology. Children who are participating in a larger longitudinal study will be asked to submerge their hand in cold water and hold it in the cold water as long as possible. Participants will do this twice, once alone and once holding the hand of their parent, to examine the role of parental support in pain development. The study will examine self-report of pain and salivary cortisol response to pain. It is hypothesized that children who have been exposed to more adversity will experience increased pain response and increased psychopathology symptoms. It is expected that higher social support in the family will decrease this relationship.
