@SwissDog3 @_alice_evans @JonHaidt I think people underestimate the effects of early childhood stress. September 11 caused a significant number of miscarriages. It would also affect the children who were born but survived the pregnancy. https://t.co/DCM8
4. This 2010 paper by Bruckner & colleagues showed that "societies react adversely to unsettling national events despite having no direct connection to persons involved in the events". Across the US, 'fetal loss' increased during the 3 months after 9/1
@alisciaandrews Got to wonder if something similar is happening as was observed following 9/11. https://t.co/UEyS3iETcs
@jamesheathers @graemedmoffat @PeejLoewen @cbpolis Previous studies studying stressors in utero have used fetal death data (post 20 weeks). There’s likely sex-specific fetal selection that occurs before 20 weeks though. https://t.co/YBUMXTabfS
