Prenatal Drinking in the Northern Plains: Differences Between American Indian and Caucasian Mothers.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Prenatal alcohol exposure is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes such as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. The study characterizes the pattern and risk factors of alcohol use during pregnancy for American Indian and Caucasian mothers in the Northern Plains.

Methods

A general population of pregnant women was recruited from 5 sites, including 2,753 Caucasians and 2,124 American Indians (2006-2017). Alcohol consumption was based on self-report using a modified Timeline Followback interview, administered 3-4 times during pregnancy and 1 month postpartum. Risk for prenatal drinking was calculated using logistic regression models after controlling for demographics, reproductive history, prenatal care, mental health, and SES. The analysis was conducted in 2019.<
