Predictors of alcohol and tobacco use prior to and during pregnancy in the US: the role of maternal stressors.
The purpose of the study was to understand the association between stressful life events prior to conception (PSLEs) and women’s alcohol and tobacco use prior to and during pregnancy, and the continuation of such use through pregnancy. It finds that PSLEs are associated with increased tobacco use prior to and during pregnancy, as well as an increased amount of alcohol use during pregnancy among U.S. women.
