Maternal smoking during pregnancy, offspring smoking, adverse childhood events, and risk of major depression: a sibling design study

CONCLUSIONS: Based on within-sibling information free of unmeasured shared confounders and accounting for a range of unshared factors, we found an effect of MSP on the offspring's risk of depression. Our findings, should they be replicated in future studies, highlight the importance of considering challenges inherent to human studies of MSP and affective disorders.PMID:33899711 | DOI:10.1017/S0033291721001392
