Abstract

There is ample evidence that prenatal substance exposure is associated with a range of negative outcomes in infancy, childhood, and later ages. These include, but are not limited to, emotional arousal and dysregulation, behavior problems, and gaps in language, impaired sensory development, and lower school achievement in older children. In the present study, I leveraged already collected data in a sample of children and their mothers to examine associations between prenatal substance exposure to alcohol, tobacco, and/or cannabis and cognitive functioning in middle childhood.
