Ever heard of Pica? It's the craving and consumption of non-food items (think: ice, soil, paper products), and it's more common than you think — especially during pregnancy.

Dr. Leila Larson is studying this complex condition and how it impacts health. ow.ly/mipO50XuHSM 🤰🏼🤰🏾

USC features Jihong Liu's maternal and child health research into the developmental origins of disease – how the mother’s health in pregnancy affects her children’s – as well as how a woman’s experiences during pregnancy can affect her own health for a lifetime.
Healthy start, healthy change
USC researchers are tackling the issues that underlie the women’s health care gap. Jihong Liu, professor of epidemiology in the Arnold School of Public Health, studies the impact of maternal health care for women and their children. While one branch of her research focuses on developmental origins of disease, Liu also examines how a woman’s experiences during pregnancy can affect her own health for a lifetime.
