Note: Coefficients show the change in scaled BSID score associated with a 10-fold increase in maternal urinary pyrethroid metabolite concentrations. Models adjusted for maternal education, age, marital status, poverty status at delivery, risk for depression (CES-D) and Raven’s Coloured Progressive Matrices score (at 1-y visit); food insecurity (USDA Food Security Survey); HOME score; preterm delivery; psychometrician; and time of urine collection (before or after delivery). 3PBA, 3-phenoxybenzoic acid; BSID, Bayley Scales of Infant Development (3rd edition); CES-D, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale; CI, confidence interval; DBCA, (2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-1-carboxylicacid; DCCA, (2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-1-carboxylicacid; HOME, Home Observation Measurement of the Environment; VHEMBE, Venda Health Examination of Mothers, Babies and their Environment.

a

Due to one missing value, models with 3PBA had 680 participants at the 1-y visit and 670 participants at the 2-y visit.

b

Social-Emotional outcome models had 688 participants for cis-DBCA, cis-DCCA, and trans-DCCA exposures, and 687 participants for 3PBA.
