He receives the award for his paper: Pain-related increase in serotonin transporter gene methylation associates with emotional regulation in 4.5-year-old preterm-born children published in Acta Paediatrica 2020. 1 The paper reports that preterm infants exposed to pain showed increased anger response to emotional stress four years later. This was found to correlate with methylation of a serotonin transporter gene. Dr Provenzi successfully carried out this challenging study design combining research on biological mechanisms with a long-term clinical followup of a high-risk population. Dr Provenzi is a productive and innovative young researcher with a Master of Science degree in Developmental and Clinical Psychology and a PhD in Psychology. He currently works at the IRCCS Mondino Foundation in Pavia, Italy. Dr Provenzi's research focus is parent-infant dyads in at-risk situations, including the epigenetic and behavioural effects of painful and invasive procedures in very preterm infants.Dr Provenzi has studied the effects of stress on the epigenetic regulation of several other target genes, as well as the telemere length, cortisol response and vagal tone. He has also studied interventions 2 and parent-infant dyads. His research has contributed to the research on fathers, who are too often forgotten in dyadic research. In addition to exploring the mechanisms, he has used innovative therapeutic approaches to enhance the quality of the parent-infant interaction in children with neurological problems. He has also published papers on the effects of the immigrant crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic on parent-infant dyads. 3 Dr Provenzi has established wide international networks. These include being a member of the steering committee of the Separation and Closeness Experiences in Neonatal Environment group, which is a multidisciplinary network that is involved in planning, and carrying out, research into this important area of infant development.

“…Many surveys have highlighted how few parents receive anticipatory guidance [15,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Parents with high education level have easier access to primary care, receive more advice, and ask the doctor for more information [25,28], while families with less social support and who are more deprived (for example, newly arrived immigrants in Italy) often receive less advice and almost certainly have less access to understandable anticipatory guidance for developmental milestones [32]. Written advice is a useful tool for families [27] but may have some disadvantages related to parents' literacy and health literacy [33,34].…”

Evaluation of an intervention aimed at supporting new parents: the Baby Newsletter project

Background: Anticipatory guidance for parents is commonly used to improve parenting skills. The objective of this pre/post-intervention controlled study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a periodic newsletter with advice on childcare and development in improving parenting self-efficacy. Methods: This was a non-randomized pre/post-intervention controlled study. All the parents of children born between September 2014 and December 2015 resident in the S. Ilario d'Enza municipality (Italy) received eight Baby Newsletters. Parents resident in other municipalities of the same Health District were the control. Parents with linguistic barriers or with preterm or hospitalized children were excluded. Improvement in parenting self-efficacy was measured through the TOPSE (Tool to Measure Parenting Self-Efficacy) questionnaire during the first week (t0) after delivery and at 5 (t1) and 12 months (t2) of life at two vaccination appointments. A score ranging from 0 to 60 was computed for each of the eight domains investigated by the TOPSE. Variations of each TOPSE score between delivery and 12 months in the two groups were compared, adjusting for parity, education, age of parents, and child's sex, and stratifying by parity and education. Results /findings: One hundred thirty-six families accepted to participate in the study. Scores at 12 months were higher than 1 week after delivery in both groups for all TOPSE domains. The improvement was slightly stronger in the Newsletter group for almost all the skills except learning and knowledge [difference in the mean of variation:-0.48 (95% CI: − 3.17; 2.21)]; the difference was significant only for play and enjoyment [2.18 (95% CI: 0.12; 4.25)]. The increase in scores in almost all domains was more pronounced for parents with high education level at first child. Conclusions: The intervention was effective in improving parents' ability to play. However, it risks worsening existing differences between parents with high and with low education levels. Trial registration: Clinical trial registration: NCT03268408.
