Research also needs to adequately control for covariates that may confound the effects of PAE, such as family processes (eg, problematic parenting or family conflict) and parental characteristics, especially maternal substance use.1, 12 Researchers also need to account for genetic liabilities that are shared by parents and offspring.13, 14 A woman's genetic risk of substance use could be passed down to her children and subsequently affect their behavior.15 Research on the consequences of PAE, therefore, needs
studies with large samples, with sufficient statistical power to detect small effects, using
analytical methods and designs that can account for potential confounds, including
factors that are not measured.
