Key PointsQuestionWas eviction prevention via free legal representation in housing court (right-to-counsel) in New York, New York, associated with birth outcomes in Medicaid-insured birthing parents? FindingsIn this cohort study including 260 493 live births, right-to-counsel was associated with a statistically significant 0.96–percentage point absolute reduction in adverse birth outcomes among Medicaid-insured birthing parents. MeaningThese findings suggest that right-to-counsel programs may lead to improvements in key population health indicators.

Key PointsQuestionAre there sensitive periods when parenting during childhood is associated with functional brain architecture during adolescence and, in turn, mental health during early adulthood? FindingsThis longitudinal cohort study of 173 youths demonstrated that associations between harsh parenting and brain architecture were widespread in early childhood, but localized to corticolimbic circuitry in late childhood. Associations with warm parenting were localized to corticolimbic regions in middle childhood, which, in turn, were associated with lower internalizing symptoms in early adulthood during the COVID-19 pandemic. MeaningThese findings identify sensitive periods for the neurodevelopmental associations of parenting, which can inform the type and timing of preventive interventions.
