‘Medically assisted reproduction and mental health in adolescence: evidence from the UK Millennium Cohort Study’

Open Access paper from the JCPP

The number and proportion of children conceived through medically assisted reproduction (MAR) is steadily increasing yet the evidence on their mental health in adolescence is inconclusive. Two main mechanisms with opposite effects can explain differences in mental health outcomes by conception mode: while more advantaged parental characteristics could positively influence it, higher parental stress could have a negative influence.
