Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate the relationship between maternal childhood adversity and its influence on prenatal alcohol use and maternal mental health.
  • Observational study design
  • Assessment of maternal childhood adversity (mACEs)
  • Evaluation of prenatal alcohol use
  • Analysis of maternal mental health outcomes
  • mACEs are linked to increased prenatal alcohol use
  • Poorer maternal mental health is associated with higher levels of mACEs
  • Contextual risk factors during pregnancy indicate significant health implications

Abstract

Results highlight mACEs as an upstream vulnerability associated with prenatal alcohol use and poorer maternal mental health, suggesting that mACEs-or their sequelae-may function as a contextual risk factor in pregnancy.
