A prospective cohort study to assess if alcohol intake measured by routine pregnancy self-report predicts developmental concerns uncovered by routine health visitor screening of children at 30 months of age
This unexpected inverse relationship could be due to underreporting of alcohol use (the risk) and inaccurate developmental and behavioural problems reported (the outcome) or effective intervention for women who self-report current alcohol intake at maternity presentation.
