BackgroundAlthough一些以前的研究报道了母亲在怀孕期间吸烟（MSP）和后代之间的外部行为问题之间的关联，有人建议，这种关系是虚假的，由于这些研究未能适当地考虑重要的混杂因素。MethodsThe MSP和成人刑事犯罪之间的关系进行了检查，使用数据从3766名成员的普罗维登斯，罗得岛，围产期合作项目队列。在整个妊娠期前瞻性收集MSP和大多数潜在混杂因素的信息。1999-2000年，所有子女都年满33岁，并进行了成人犯罪记录检查。 由于以前的研究一直批评没有正确的会计混杂的影响，我们的主要目的是确定是否MSP刑事犯罪的关系后，有效地调整了广泛的社会人口和家庭背景的特点，使用propensity score methods.ResultsThe MSP和成人刑事犯罪之间的关联仍然控制后的倾向分数。母亲在怀孕期间大量吸烟（每天≥20支）的后代有最大的成人逮捕记录（OR 1.31，95% CI 1.06至1.62）。研究结果还表明，MSP可能是一个独立的危险因素，为成人犯罪历史标记的多次逮捕。最后，我们的研究结果表明，MSP的影响在两个genders.ConclusionResults从这项研究中提供的证据之间的关联重MSP和长期的刑事犯罪。任何因果关系的强度都可能是弱到中等。
BackgroundAlthough a number of previous studies have reported an association between maternal smoking during pregnancy (MSP) and externalising behaviour problems among offspring, it has been suggested that this relationship is spurious due to the failure of these studies to properly account for important confounding factors.MethodsThe relationship between MSP and adult criminal offending was examined using data from 3766 members of the Providence, Rhode Island, cohort of the Collaborative Perinatal Project. Information on MSP and most potential confounders was collected prospectively throughout pregnancy. In 1999–2000 all offspring had reached 33 years of age and an adult criminal record check was performed. Because previous research has been criticised for not properly accounting for confounding influences, our primary aim was to determine whether the MSP–criminal offending relationship held after efficiently adjusting for a wide range of sociodemographic and family background characteristics using propensity score methods.ResultsThe association between MSP and adult criminal offending remained after controlling for propensity scores. Offspring of mothers who smoked heavily during pregnancy (≥20 cigarettes per day) had the greatest odds of an adult arrest record (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.62). Findings also suggest that MSP may be an independent risk factor for adult criminal histories marked by multiple arrests. Lastly, our findings show that the impact of MSP operates similarly across both genders.ConclusionResults from this study provide evidence of an association between heavy MSP and long-term criminal offending. Any causal association is likely to be weak to moderate in strength.
