Controls (n= 34) MAT (n= 19) Alcohol (n= 15) Alcohol+MAT (n= 23) pa
Alcohol Use:
12 months prior to enrollment:
AUDIT past 12 months: (Mean ± SD) 0.65 ±0.77 0.58 ±0.90 12.7 ±9.9 10.1 ±7.5 <0.001w
AUDIT≥8: n (%b) 0 (0.0) 0 (0.0) 9 (60.0) 12 (52.2) <0.001

AA/day: (Mean ± SD) 0.00±0.01 0.00±0.00 1.55 ±2.13 0.84 ±1.70 <0.001
During pregnancy beyond periconceptional period:
Maximum number of drinks in 24 hours 0.00±0.00 0.13±0.55 10.7 ±13.5 8.8 ±11.0 <0.001
AA/day average across pregnancy 0.00±0.00 0.00±0.00 0.12 ±0.41 0.005 ±0.02 0.103
Positive for ≥1 ethanol biomarker at study visit 1 or visit 2: n (%) 0 (0.0) 0 (0.0) 9 (60.0) 14 (60.9) <0.001
Substance Use During Pregnancy:

Tobacco: n (%) 0 (0.0) 14 (73.7) 3 (21.4) 15 (65.2) <0.001

MAT, opioid maintenance therapy.

AA, absolute ounces of alcohol (1 standard drink = approximately 0.5 AA)

a

For the continuous variables, p-values corresponds to an ANOVA F-test or Welch's modified F-test. For the categorical variables, p-values correspond to the Fisher's exact test.

b

All percentages are column percentage with each of the study groups as the denominator

c

One month around LMP

w

Welch's modified F-test was used to assess significant differences in the means instead of the ANOVA F-test
