After controlling for potential confounders, regression analyses identified significant problem behaviors by teacher ratings, with about 26% of teens in the borderline or clinical range. Only somatic problems (Somatic Disorder & Somatic Complaints) were predicted significantly by the maternal antenatal AAD or AADD report (Table 6). In contrast, several indicators of teen problem behavior were related significantly to retrospectively reported maternal alcohol consumption (Table 6). As for antenatal report, retrospective AAD and AADD were also related significantly to Somatic Disorder and Somatic Complaints. Unlike antenatal report, retrospective AAD and AADD both also predicted ADHD (including Hyperactivity/Impulsivity), Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Anxious/Depressed, Rule Breaking, Aggressive Problems, as well as Total Externalizing behavior. Retrospective AADD, but not AAD, was also related significantly to Attention Problems (Table 6). Finally, there were no significant relations between teen IQ scores and any report of maternal drinking during pregnancy – antenatal or retrospective, AAD or AADD.
