In this issue of the Archives, Lanzi et al1 present a 3-question screening tool (the PREP) that, when given to pregnant adolescents, identifies those whose infants are at increased risk for a host of adverse socioemotional and cognitive outcomes. These findings are timely and relevant to the aims of pediatrics. Improving the socioemotional outcomes of young children and preventing toxic stress has been recently promoted in a policy statement by the American Academy of Pediatrics.2
