In this prospective study, adolescent mothers (mean age=16; range=12-18; 70% African-American) were interviewed about their tobacco use during pregnancy. When their children were ten, mothers reported on their child's behavior and the children completed a neuropsychological battery. We examined the association between prenatal cigarette smoke exposure (PCSE) and offspring neurobehavioral outcomes on data from the 10-year phase (n=330). Multivariate regression analyses were conducted to test if PCSE predicted neurobehavioral outcomes, adjusting for demographic characteristics, maternal psychological characteristics, prenatal exposure to other substances, and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. Independent effects of PCSE were found. Exposed offspring had more delinquent, aggressive, and externalizing behaviors (CBCL). They were more active (Routh, EAS, and SNAP) and impulsive (SNAP) and had more problems with peers (SNAP). On the Stroop test, deficits were observed on the more complex interference task that requires both selective attention and response inhibition. The significant effects of PCSE on neurobehavioral outcomes were found for exposure to as few as 10 cigarettes per day. Most effects were found from first trimester PCSE exposure. These results are consistent with results from an earlier assessment when the children were age 6, demonstrating that the effects of prenatal tobacco exposure can be identified early and are consistent through middle childhood.
