The Role Of Maternal Adverse Childhood Experiences And Race In Intergenerational High-Risk Smoking Behaviors Presented: Miami FL, Society for Pediatric and Perinatal Epidemiologic Research Annual Meeting, June 2016 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Society for Pediatric and Perinatal Epidemiologic Research Keyword(s): Adolescent Health; Child Health; Childhood Adversity/Trauma; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Mothers, Health; Pre-natal Care/Exposure; Pre/post Natal Behavior; Racial Differences; Smoking (see Cigarette Use) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) are associated with increased risk of smoking in children and adults, and have recently been associated with both prenatal smoking and next-generation child smoking. We assessed three exposure-outcome associations: (1) maternal ACE and prenatal smoking; (2) maternal ACE and early initiation of smoking in children; and (3) prenatal smoking and early initiation of smoking in children, modified by maternal ACE. We also tested these associations for effect modification by maternal race/ethnicity. Our study sample consisted of 4,775 mother-child dyads from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 and its partner study, the NLSY79 Children and Young Adults survey. We analyzed three ACE exposures (physical abuse, household alcohol abuse, and household mental illness), prenatal smoking status, and age of smoking initiation in their children. |

Introduction: A history of adversity in childhood is associated with cigarette smoking in adulthood, but there is less evidence for prenatal and next-generation offspring smoking. We investigated the association between maternal history of childhood adversity, pregnancy smoking, and early initiation of smoking in offspring, overall and by maternal race/ethnicity. Methods: Data on maternal childhood exposure to physical abuse, household alcohol abuse, and household mental illness, prenatal smoking behaviors, and offspring age of smoking initiation were analyzed from the US National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79, n = 2999 mothers) and the NLSY79 Children and Young Adults Survey (NLSYCYA, n = 6596 children). Adjusted risk ratios were estimated using log-linear regression models. We assessed multiplicative interaction by race/ethnicity for all associations and a three-way interaction by maternal exposure to adversity and race/ethnicity for the association between prenatal and child smoking. Results: Maternal exposure to childhood physical abuse was significantly associated with 39% and 20% increased risks of prenatal smoking and child smoking, respectively. Household alcohol abuse was associated with significantly increased risks of 20% for prenatal smoking and 17% for child smoking. The prenatal smoking–child smoking relationship was modified by maternal exposure to household alcohol abuse and race. There were increased risks for Hispanic and white/other mothers as compared to the lowest risk group: black mothers who did not experience childhood household alcohol abuse. |
