ACEs	0.12 (0.06), p = 0.033	0.11 (0.04), p = 0.014	0.03 (0.07), p = 0.632

N = 50 pregnant women (25 African American and 25 White). Linear regression models were fit to investigate associations between five prenatal psychosocial stressors and three creatinine-adjusted F2-isoprostane channels. These models were adjusted for cigarette smoking during pregnancy, education level, and race/ethnicity. Pregnant women reporting high levels of ACE had significantly higher i8 channel F2-isoprostane (β = 0.12, SE = 0.06, p = 0.033) and 2,3 channel F2-isoprostane levels (β = 0.11, SE = 0.04, p = 0.014). Two-sample t-tests were completed.
