Maternal Smoking During Pregnancy and Adverse Childhood Experiences: The Role of Socioeconomic Status in Adulthood and Perinatal Abuse.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Previous research has linked adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) to maternal smoking, but the role of socioeconomic status (SES) in adulthood and perinatal abuse remains unclear. This study examined the strength of the association between ACEs and maternal smoking behaviors before, during, and after pregnancy and investigated whether maternal SES and perinatal abuse modify this association.

Methods

This cross-sectional study used data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System survey (2017-2020). The weighted prevalence of self-reported ACEs and smoking was calculated. Multivariate logistic regression models were conducted to examine the association between ACEs and maternal smoking throughout pregnancy, accounting for maternal SES and perinatal abuse.<
