The teratogenic effects of prenatal
alcohol exposure on the developing brain can lead to neurodevelopmental deficits in the child.10 At high levels of exposure, and during vulnerable time points during pregnancy, prenatal alcohol exposure has cognitive and behavioural impacts that may affect a child's academic performance and behaviour.11 12 In addition to in utero effects of alcohol, children exposed to heavy parental alcohol use postnatally have been identified as having abnormal developmental and social trajectories.
Furthermore, a rodent study concurrently examined the effects of mid-puberty or adult

This differs from previous studies that use this cohort, where
exposure in pregnancy had a significantly greater effect
on other types of adverse child outcomes.23 28 These findings may indicate that the relationship between school attendance and maternal
alcohol use disorders is not primarily driven by the neurobehavioural effects of
alcohol during pregnancy, but rather a complex family and social environment in which school attendance is not a priority or not well monitored.
Because prenatal and postnatal drinking are moderately related, distinguishing between the effects of prenatal
exposure and the postnatal environment is often a major methodological challenge.56 Given that
alcohol data collected retrospectively seem to be influenced by postpartum drinking levels, it is more difficult to distinguish between prenatal and postnatal effects in studies that collect data
on pregnancy
alcohol use retrospectively and to attribute observed deficits in the infant or child to prenatal
exposure rather than postnatal environmental effects.

on children as it is likely to be very insensitive.

exposure to wider risks from parental / familial behaviours and environmental circumstances (maternal depression and / or poor physical health,
