'Born stressed': The 1998 ice storm and anxious babies
Suzanne King, a researcher at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute, has been researching the effects of stress on pregnant women and their children. She asked women to recall stressful experiences from their pregnancies decades later, which she said wasn't ideal. When the ice storm hit, she saw it as a perfect opportunity to follow women and their children over several years, she told CBC's Radio Noon.

Montreal initiative aims to help Black youth find path to success It is targeting Black youth aged 18 – 25 because, according to lead researcher Dr. Robert Edward Whitley, associate professor in McGill university’s department of psychiatry, they tend to fall into the NEET category. “NEET is an academic word that means ‘not in education, employment and training,'” he explained. “We do know that young Black men tend to be overrepresented in that category.”
