Adjusted for a set of confounders: maternal and paternal age and education, parity, alcohol use during pregnancy (never, sometimes, and regular/binge), presence of symptoms of anxiety/depression, maternal (never, sometimes, and daily) and paternal tobacco smoking in pregnancy, maternal and paternal use of illicit drugs, use of prescribed medications during pregnancy (opioids and benzodiazepines), work situation, planned pregnancy, and sex.
