But lead study investigator Dr. Dani Dumitriu, an assistant professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at Columbia University and a newborn hospitalist at the Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital, said it was likely due to several factors. The effects of being born into an environment of lockdowns and other pandemic-related stressors on families that interrupted childhood, such as job loss or unstable housing, probably contributed, too, she said.
