Smoke Tied to Child Behavioral Ills Boston Globe, September 4, 1992, National/Foreign; 1 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Boston Globe Keyword(s): Behavioral Problems; Children, Behavioral Development; Cigarette Use (see Smoking); Health Factors; Mothers; Women Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Mothers who smoke during or after pregnancy appear to increase the chance that their children will suffer from behavioral problems such as depression, anxiety, trouble in school or impulsive acts, a new study suggests. (See Weitzman, M. "Maternal Smoking and Behavior Problems of Children, Pediatrics 90,3 (Sep 92) 342-349). Based on a survey of more than 2,250 youngsters aged 4 to 11, the report, which is being published today, is the first to link maternal smoking with harmful psychological effects on children. It is the latest in a string of studies that have found other health problems - mainly respiratory ailments such as asthma - in children raised by smoking mothers. The study, published in today's issue of the journal Pediatrics, found that children of mothers who smoked more than a pack a day after pregnancy had double the risk of being among the 10 percent of youngsters in the survey who had extreme behavioral problems. |
