Text

Results indicated that parental alcoholism predicted increased risk of offspring HYP/IMP, CDP, and AlcProb. Significant associations were found between maternal AlcA/AlcD and child HYP/IMP [B = .187, 95% CI = .077-.297], child CDP [B = .152, 95% CI = .075-.230], and child AlcProb [B = .084, 95% CI =.013-.156], while paternal AlcD was significantly predictive of child INATT [B = .084, 95% CI = .048-.250]. Maternal regular smoking (outside of pregnancy) was also significantly predictive of all four phenotypes (B ranging from .077-.127), while paternal regular smoking predicted increased symptoms for HYP/IMP, CDP, and AlcProb (B ranging from .074-.116).
