Below is the updated version. Characteristics associated with maternal drinking in pregnancy Univariate tests compared whether abstainers and pregnancy drinkers (at any level) differed on background socio-demographics, other substance use, and physical and psychological factors (Table 3). The results show that, relative to abstainers, women who drank alcohol had greater odds of being older (e.g., 30-35 years, 1.97, 95% CI, 1.20-3.24); completing high school (2.61, 95% CI, 1.48-4.61); having moderate (2.29, 95% CI, 1.31-4.02) or high SES (4.42, 95% CI, 2.56-7.64); being born in an English speaking country (1.88, 95% CI, 1.33-2.66); and speaking English as their first language [2].34, 95% CI, 1.77-3.09); and lower odds of living in a single parent household (0.61, 95% CI, 0.39-0.95). Other factors associated with pregnancy drinking included: smoking in pregnancy (1.67, 95% CI, 1.18-2.36); higher estimated IQ (e.g., a score of 100-114, 3.02, 95% CI, 2.01-4.53); and lower anxiety (0.76, 95% CI, 0.57-0.99). Secondly, they revised the first paragraph under subsection "Characteristics of women drinking in pregnancy and their partners". Please see below: Characteristics of women drinking in pregnancy and their partners Consistent with past research, pregnant women who consumed alcohol differed on socio-demographic characteristics compared to abstainers [36, 37]. Specifically, they were more likely to be older, tertiary educated, have moderate to high SEIFA scores (reflective of socio-economic advantage), be born in Australia or another English speaking country, and be less likely to live in a single parent household. Other factors associated with pregnancy drinking included: smoking in pregnancy; higher estimated IQ; and lower levels of anxiety. These results suggest pregnancy drinking is common among women from more affluent socio-demographic backgrounds, and among specific at-risk groups, such as women who smoke cigarettes. Targeting these populations may result in more effective preventive intervention for pregnancy drinking.
