BACKGROUND: Prenatal exposures to alcohol, cigarettes, and other drugs of abuse are associated with numerous adverse consequences for affected offspring, including increased risk for substance use and abuse. However, maternal substance use during pregnancy appears to occur more often in those with a family history of alcohol dependence. Utilizing a sample that is enriched for familial alcohol dependence and includes controls selected for virtual absence of familial alcohol dependence could provide important information on the relative contribution of familial risk and prenatal exposures to offspring substance use. METHODS: A sample of multigenerational families specifically ascertained to be at either high or low risk for developing alcohol dependence (AD) provided biological offspring for a longitudinal prospective study. High-risk families were selected based on the presence of 2 alcohol-dependent sisters. Low-risk families were selected on the basis of minimal first and second-degree relatives with AD. High-risk (HR = 99) and Low-risk offspring (LR = 110) were assessed annually during childhood and biennially in young adulthood regarding their alcohol, drug, and cigarette use. At the first childhood visit, mothers were interviewed concerning their prenatal use of substances. RESULTS: High-risk mothers were more likely to use alcohol, cigarettes, and other drugs during pregnancy than low-risk control mothers, and to consume these substances in greater quantities. Across the sample, prenatal exposure to alcohol was associated with increased risk for both offspring cigarette use and substance use disorders (SUD), and prenatal cigarette exposure was associated with increased risk for offspring cigarette use. Controlling for risk status by examining patterns within the HR sample, prenatal cigarette exposure remained a specific predictor of offspring cigarette use, and prenatal alcohol exposure was specifically associated with increased risk for offspring SUD. CONCLUSIONS: Women with a family history of SUD are at increased risk for substance use during pregnancy. Both familial loading for alcohol dependence and prenatal exposure to alcohol or cigarettes are important risk factors in the development of offspring substance use. An inadequate assessment of family history may obscure important interactions between familial risk and prenatal exposures on offspring outcomes.

Figure 1

This pedigree illustrates the high density of alcohol dependence seen in the high-risk families in this study. Families were selected through women in the second generation depicted here. Solid circles (females) or squares (males) indicated affected (alcohol dependence) status by the time of the last follow up. In this pedigree, ‘exposed’ refers to prenatal alcohol exposure. Third generation offspring from this pedigree were first seen at an average age of 10.2 ± 2.2 years and were 31.3 ± 2.9 years of age at last follow up.

LLM interpretation

This image is a pedigree chart for Family W1429 illustrating the inheritance of alcohol dependence across three generations. Solid black shapes indicate affected individuals (squares for males, circles for females), showing a high density of the condition across all three generations. Specific individuals in the third generation are labeled as "Exposed," referring to prenatal alcohol exposure.

Figure 2

Mothers of High-Risk offspring (n=99) were significantly more likely than Low-Risk mothers to use substances during pregnancy, including alcohol, cigarettes, and other abusable drugs.

LLM interpretation

This grouped bar chart compares the percentage of "Yes" responses for maternal substance use during pregnancy between High-Risk (red) and Low-Risk (blue) groups. Across all categories—Alcohol Use, Cigarette Use, Drug Use, and Any Substance Use—the High-Risk group shows substantially higher percentages of use than the Low-Risk group. The y-axis represents "Percent Yes" from 0 to 100, with the largest disparity visible in the "Any Substance Use" category.

Figure 3

Across the sample, prenatal alcohol exposure was significantly associated with offspring substance use disorders. Exposure level was determined by conducting a median split of total number of alcoholic drinks consumed during pregnancy (median = 48 alcoholic drinks across pregnancy).

LLM interpretation

This line graph shows the percent survival of offspring without substance use disorders (SUD) from age 13 to 30, categorized by prenatal alcohol exposure levels. The "High Alc Exposure" group shows a steep decline in survival compared to the "Low Alc Exposure" and "No Alc Exposure" groups, which maintain higher survival rates. The x-axis represents age and the y-axis represents percent survival.

Figure 4

Across the sample, prenatal alcohol exposure was significantly associated with offspring cigarette use in childhood and adolescence. Exposure level was determined by conducting a median split of total number of alcoholic drinks consumed during pregnancy (median = 48 alcoholic drinks across pregnancy).

LLM interpretation

This line graph shows the "Percent Survival" (representing the percentage of offspring who have not started smoking) from age 8 to 18, categorized by prenatal alcohol exposure level. The x-axis represents age in years, and the y-axis represents the percentage of survival. The data shows a downward trend for all groups over time, with the "High Alc Exposure" group (green line) showing the steepest decline and lowest survival rate compared to the "Low Alc Exposure" (purple line) and "No Alc Exposure" (blue line) groups.

Figure 5

Across the sample, prenatal cigarette exposure was significantly associated with offspring cigarette use in childhood and adolescence. Exposure level was determined by conducting a median split of total number of cigarettes consumed during pregnancy (median = 2700 cigarettes across pregnancy).

LLM interpretation

This line graph shows the "Percent Survival" (representing the proportion of offspring who have not started smoking) across ages 8 to 18, categorized by prenatal cigarette exposure levels. The x-axis represents age and the y-axis represents percent survival. A clear dose-response pattern is visible, where the "High Cig Exposure" group shows the steepest decline in survival, followed by the "Low Cig Exposure" group, with the "No Cig Exposure" group maintaining the highest survival rate.

Figure 6

Among offspring from multiplex, alcohol dependent families, prenatal alcohol exposure was significantly associated with offspring substance use disorders. Exposure level was determined by conducting a median split of total number of alcoholic drinks consumed during pregnancy (median = 48 alcoholic drinks across pregnancy).

LLM interpretation

This line graph shows the "Percent Survival" (representing the absence of substance use disorders) over time for high-risk offspring based on prenatal alcohol exposure levels. The x-axis tracks age from 13 to 30, while the y-axis measures the percentage of the population remaining free of SUD. The "High Alc Exposure" group shows a significantly steeper decline in survival compared to the "Low Alc Exposure" and "No Alc Exposure" groups, which maintain higher survival rates through age 30.

Figure 7

Among offspring from multiplex, alcohol dependent families, prenatal cigarette exposure were significantly associated with offspring cigarette use during childhood and adolescence. Exposure level was determined by conducting a median split of total number of cigarettes consumed during pregnancy (median = 2700 cigarettes across pregnancy).

LLM interpretation

This line graph shows the "Percent Survival" (representing the percentage of offspring who have not yet started smoking) across ages 8 to 18 for three groups: No Cig Exposure, Low Cig Exposure, and High Cig Exposure. The "High Cig Exposure" group shows a steeper and earlier decline in survival compared to the other two groups, starting around age 12. The "No Cig Exposure" and "Low Cig Exposure" groups follow a similar, more gradual decline, with the "No Cig Exposure" group maintaining the highest survival rate until age 17.
