Although the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) have been studied extensively, there is relatively little information available on adult mental health functioning among exposed individuals. The current study examined self-reported mental health status among midlife individuals who were prenatally exposed to alcohol and diagnosed in childhood with effects of this exposure and compares their outcomes to those of unexposed individuals. Participants (N=292) were recruited from two longitudinal cohorts in Atlanta and Seattle, and asked to complete an Adult Health Questionnaire that surveyed their current health and mental health status. The questionnaire could be completed either in-person or remotely and included questions about current symptoms of depression and anxiety as well as diagnosis of mental health disorders. Analysis compared a Non-Exposed Contrast group to those in two exposure groups: 1) Alcohol Exposed with Fetal Alcohol Effect (FAE) but not meeting criteria for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and 2) Alcohol Affected and meeting criteria for FAS . Both alcohol-exposed groups reported higher levels of current depressive symptoms as well as higher prevalence of diagnosis of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and/or attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder. No differences were noted for psychotic disorders. PAE was also associated with greater environmental stressors including higher levels of adverse childhood events and lower current socioeconomic status. Path analyses suggested that PAE was indirectly related to mood disorders with its effects being mediated by other environmental factors. PAE is associated with increased rates of mental health disorders in middle adulthood. These outcomes appear to result from multiple stressors affecting individuals made vulnerable by their early exposure. Clinical outcomes could be improved by prevention efforts directed at both prenatal alcohol use and later environmental stressors, and by early identification of PAE and its effects.
