  abstract = {{O}bjectives {M}aternal depression occurs in 13-20% of women from low-income countries, which is associated with negative child health outcomes, including diarrheal disease. {H}owever, few studies have investigated its impact on child risk of infectious disease. {W}e studied the impacts of maternal depressive symptoms and parent-child interactions, independently, on the risk of {P}lasmodium falciparum malaria and soil-transmitted helminth infection in {B}eninese children. {M}ethods {O}ur population included mothers and children enrolled in a clinical trial during pregnancy ({M}i{PPAD}) in {B}enin. {T}he {E}dinburgh {P}ostnatal {D}epression {S}cale ({EPDS}) assessed maternal depressive symptoms and the home observation measurement of the environment ({HOME}) assessed parent-child interactions. {B}lood and stool sample analyses diagnosed child malaria and helminth infection at 12, 18, and 24 months. {N}egative binomial and {P}oisson regression models with robust variance tested associations. {R}esults {O}f the 302 mother-child pairs, 39 (12.9%) mothers had depressive symptoms. {M}edian number of malaria episodes per child was 3 (0-14) and 29.1% children had at least one helminth infection. {H}igher {EPDS} scores were associated with lower {HOME} scores; relative risk ({RR}) 0.97 (95% confidence interval ({CI}) 0.95, 0.99), particularly with lower acceptance, involvement, and variety subscales; {RR} 0.92 (95% {CI} 0.85, 0.99), {RR} 0.82 (95% {CI} 0.77, 0.88), {RR} 0.93 (95% {CI} 0.88, 0.99), respectively. {H}owever, neither exposure was associated with risk of parasitic infection in children. {C}onclusions for {P}ractice {M}aternal depressive symptoms are associated with poor parent-child interactions, particularly acceptance of behavior, involvement with children, and variety of interactions, but these exposures do not independently impact risk of parasitic infection in children.},
