Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 Maternal Alcohol and Tobacco Use Linked With Attention Disorder Risk in Child NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Mar 27 - Pregnant women who drink alcohol and smoke may more than double their child's risk of developing attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to a new report. " Because none of our subjects had fetal alcohol syndrome, these findings indicate that ADHD may be an additional deleterious outcome associated with prenatal exposure to alcohol, " Dr. Mick of Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, and colleagues report in the April issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/430792?srcmp=neur-032902 & WebLogicSession=PK3uhu1bJEdx2KJXpCgtRsnLK8pdXkJaFXSa1gm18Az1sEfdN328|-76244742 8783337896/-1408233357/6/7001/7001/7002/7002/7001/-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
