Mothers’ Adverse Childhood Experiences and Their Young Children’s Development

Jing Sun, Falguni Patel, Ruth Rose-Jacobs, Deborah A. Frank, more

American Journal of Preventive Medicine > 2017 > 53 > 6 > 882-891

This study examined how mothers’ Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) relate to their children’s developmental risk and assessed how the association is mediated through mothers’ depressive symptoms and fair/poor health.Mothers of children aged between 4 months and 4 years were recruited from the emergency department of a children’s hospital between March 2012 and June 2015 and interviewed about ACEs,...

Intrauterine exposure to tobacco and executive functioning in high school

Ruth Rose-Jacobs, Mark A. Richardson, Kathryn Buchanan-Howland, Clara A. Chen, more

Drug and Alcohol Dependence > 2017 > 176 > C > 169-175

Executive functioning (EF), an umbrella construct encompassing gradual maturation of cognitive organization/management processes, is important to success in multiple settings including high school. Intrauterine tobacco exposure (IUTE) correlates with negative cognitive/behavioral outcomes, but little is known about its association with adolescent EF and information from real-life contexts is sparse...

Effects of intrauterine substance and postnatal violence exposure on aggression in children

Olivier J. Barthelemy, Mark A. Richardson, Ruth Rose‐Jacobs, Leah S. Forman, more

Aggressive Behavior > 42 > 3 > 209 - 221

During the cocaine epidemic of the 1980s and early 1990s, many expressed fears that children with intrauterine cocaine exposure (IUCE) would grow up to be unusually violent. The present study examines the relationship of caregiver reports of school‐age children's aggressive behavior with IUCE and postnatal exposure to violence. Respondents were 140 low‐income, primarily African American children,...

Psychological Distress Among School-Aged Children with and Without Intrauterine Cocaine Exposure: Perinatal Versus Contextual Effects

Mark A. Richardson, Wanda Grant-Knight, Marjorie Beeghly, Ruth Rose-Jacobs, more

Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology > 2016 > 44 > 3 > 547-560

Whether intrauterine cocaine exposure (IUCE) explains unique variance in psychiatric functioning among school age children, even after controlling for other biological and social risk factors, has not been fully delineated. As part of a longitudinal birth cohort study of children with and without IUCE, we conducted and analyzed data based on structured clinical interviews with 105 children (57 % male)...

Level of intrauterine cocaine exposure and neuropsychological test scores in preadolescence: subtle effects on auditory attention and narrative memory

Marjorie Beeghly, Ruth Rose-Jacobs, Brett M. Martin, Howard J. Cabral, more

Neurotoxicology and Teratology > 2014 > 45 > Complete > 1-17

Neuropsychological processes such as attention and memory contribute to children's higher-level cognitive and language functioning and predict academic achievement. The goal of this analysis was to evaluate whether level of intrauterine cocaine exposure (IUCE) alters multiple aspects of preadolescents' neuropsychological functioning assessed using a single age-referenced instrument, the NEPSY: A Developmental...

Problematic substance use in urban adolescents: Role of intrauterine exposures to cocaine and marijuana and post-natal environment

Deborah A. Frank, Seth Kuranz, Danielle Appugliese, Howard Cabral, more

Drug and Alcohol Dependence > 2014 > 142 > Complete > 181-190

Linkages between intrauterine exposures to cocaine and marijuana and adolescents’ problematic substance use have not been fully delineated.Prospective longitudinal study with assessors unaware of intrauterine exposure history followed 157 urban participants from birth until late adolescence. Level of intrauterine exposures was identified by mother's report and infant's meconium. Problematic substance...

Early adolescent executive functioning, intrauterine exposures and own drug use

Ruth Rose-Jacobs, Shayna Soenksen, Danielle P. Appugliese, Howard J. Cabral, more

Neurotoxicology and Teratology > 2011 > 33 > 3 > 379-392

Individual differences in adolescents' executive functioning are often attributed either to intrauterine substance exposure or to adolescents' own substance use, but both predictors typically have not been evaluated simultaneously in the same study. This prospective study evaluated whether intrauterine drug exposures, the adolescents' own substance use, and/or their potential interactions are related...

Adolescent initiation of licit and illicit substance use: Impact of intrauterine exposures and post-natal exposure to violence

Deborah A. Frank, Ruth Rose-Jacobs, Denise Crooks, Howard J. Cabral, more

Neurotoxicology and Teratology > 2011 > 33 > 1 > 100-109

Whether intrauterine exposures to alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, or cocaine predispose offspring to substance use in adolescence has not been established. We followed a sample of 149 primarily African American/African Caribbean, urban adolescents, recruited at term birth, until age 16 to investigate intrauterine cocaine exposure (IUCE). We found that in Kaplan–Meier analyses higher levels of IUCE were...

The Starting Early Starting Smart Integrated Services Model: Improving Access to Behavioral Health Services in the Pediatric Health Care Setting for At-Risk Families with Young Children

Connie E. Morrow, Elana Mansoor, K. Lori Hanson, April L. Vogel, more

Journal of Child and Family Studies > 2010 > 19 > 1 > 42-56

We evaluated the Starting Early Starting Smart (SESS) national initiative to integrate behavioral health services (parenting, mental health, and drug treatment) into the pediatric health care setting for families with young children. Data are presented from five pediatric care (PC) sites, drawing from families at risk due to demographic and behavioral health factors, with infants less than 12 months...

Intrauterine cocaine exposure and executive functioning in middle childhood

Ruth Rose-Jacobs, Deborah Waber, Marjorie Beeghly, Howard Cabral, more

Neurotoxicology and Teratology > 2009 > 31 > 3 > 159-168

This longitudinal study evaluated whether the level of intrauterine cocaine exposure (IUCE) or the interaction between IUCE and contextual variables was related during middle childhood to executive functioning, as assessed with the Stroop Color-Word and Rey Osterrieth Complex Figure tests. The Stroop Interference score measures verbal inhibitory control while the Rey Osterrieth Organizational score...

Deborah A. Frank, Ruth Rose-Jacobs, Marjorie Beeghly, MaryAnn Wilbur, more

Neurotoxicology and Teratology > 2005 > 27 > 1 > 15-28

This analysis was designed to determine whether prenatal cocaine exposure is related to children's standardized cognitive test scores at age 4 years after control for relevant covariates.Masked examiners using the WPPSI-R assessed ninety-one 4-year-old children with prenatal cocaine exposure and 79 children of comparable demographic background who were not exposed. Level of cocaine exposure was documented...

Marjorie Beeghly, Deborah A. Frank, Ruth Rose-Jacobs, Howard Cabral, more

Neurotoxicology and Teratology > 2003 > 25 > 1 > 23-38

The objective of this longitudinal prospective cohort study was to determine whether level of prenatal cocaine exposure, or the interaction between level of prenatal cocaine exposure and contextual risk variables, was associated with a higher rate of infant-caregiver insecure attachment and disorganized attachment, or with alterations in infant crying or avoidant behavior, after controlling for prenatal...
