Adjusted Differences in BASC-2 Composite Scale Scores with 1-IQR Increase in Geometric Mean Measurement-Error-Corrected Log₁₀-Transformed Gestational Creatinine-Standardized Urinary Phthalate Metabolite Concentrations or Measurement-Error-Corrected Exposure Intensity of Log₁₀-Transformed Childhood Creatinine-Standardized Urinary Phthalate Metabolite Concentrations: The HOME Study.

Note: BASC-2, Behavioral Assessment System for Children-2; IQR, interquartile range; INZ, internalizing problems; EXT, externalizing problems; BSI, behavioral symptoms index; ΣDEHP, summary di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate metabolite measure; MnBP, mono-n-butyl phthalate; MBzP, monobenzyl phthalate; MCNP, monocarboxynonyl phthalate; MCOP, monocarboxyoctyl phthalate; MCPP, mono(3-carboxypropyl) phthalate; MEP, monoethyl phthalate; MiBP, mono-isobutyl phthalate.

The sample size for estimating the associations between maternal phthalates and behavior is N=314, for the associations of childhood MiBP and MnBP with behavior is N=262, and for the associations between other childhood phthalates and behavior is N=312.

All estimates were adjusted for: maternal age at delivery, mother’s pre-pregnancy BMI, maternal gestational smoking (mean of log₁₀-transformed serum cotinine concentrations during 16 and 26 weeks of pregnancy), mother’s Beck’s Depression Inventory score, gestational alcohol consumption (<1/month, >1/month, binge), maternal education (high school graduate or less, tech school or some college, college graduate or above), marital status (married, unmarried), and child’s sex (male/female), race (non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, other), and age at outcome assessment.
