Prenatal bisphenol A exposure in relation to behavioral outcomes in girls aged 4-5 and modification by socio-demographic factors in The Infant Development and Environment Study (TIDES).

ABSTRACT: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a polymer used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. An estrogen mimic, prenatal BPA exposure has been associated with several behavioral outcomes in children; however, the impact of maternal demographic and economic factors on associations between BPA and child behavioral outcomes have not been examined. The objective of this study was to examine associations between prenatal maternal urinary BPA and behavior in 4-5 year old girls, and to assess whether socio-demographic factors modify this relationship. Mothers enrolled in The Infant Development and Environment Study (TIDES) provided a single spot urine at enrollment (median gestational age 11 weeks) and completed the Behavior Assessment System for Children-2 (BASC-2) and Social Responsiveness
