Pre- and postnatal exposure to legacy environmental contaminants and sensation seeking in Inuit adolescents from Nunavik
Despite extensive evidence from cohort studies linking exposure to lead (Pb), mercury (Hg) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) to numerous cognitive outcomes in children and adolescents, very few studies addressed reward sensitivity, a key dimension of emotional regulation. The present study aimed to examine associations between pre- and postnatal exposure to these environmental neurotoxicants and sensation seeking, a behavioral feature of rewar…
Associations between developmental exposure to environmental contaminants and spatial navigation in late adolescence
Inuit communities in Northern Quebec (Canada) are exposed to environmental contaminants, particularly to mercury, lead and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Previous studies reported adverse associations between these neurotoxicants and memory performance. Here we aimed to determine the associations of pre- and postnatal exposures to mercury, lead and PCB-153 on spatial navigation memory in 212 Inuit adolescents (mean age = 18.5 years) using a co…
Food insecurity and psychological distress in Inuit adolescents of Nunavik
Objective: The present study aims at measuring the association between household food insecurity and psychological distress in adolescents in Inuit communities, concurrently and overtime from childhood to adolescence. Design: The study used measures of internalising behaviours (anxiety, withdrawn attitude, somatic complaints and depression) as indicators of psychological distress during adolescence, a concurrent measure of household food insecuri…

The postpartum year is a crucial period for child development and mother-child attachment. In a young and prolific population such as the Inuit from Nunavik (northern Quebec, Canada), postpartum maternal well-being is even more concerning. This study aims to document the prevalence and co-occurrence of socioeconomic and psychosocial risk factors in this population, and to use these factors to identify specific profiles of women. Data collection i…
Household Crowding and Food Insecurity Among Inuit Families With School-Aged Children in the Canadian Arctic
Objectives. We examined the relation of household crowding to food insecurity among Inuit families with school-aged children in Arctic Quebec. Methods. We analyzed data collected between October 2005 and February 2010 from 292 primary caregiver–child dyads from 14 Inuit communities. We collected information about household conditions, food security, and family socioeconomic characteristics by interviews. We used logistic regression models to exam…
Impact of Inuit customary adoption on behavioral problems in school-age Inuit children
A large proportion of Inuit children in Arctic Quebec are adopted in accordance with traditional Inuit customs. In contrast to adoptions in Southern Canada and the United States, the child is adopted at birth and by a close family member; he or she knows who his or her biological parents are, and will typically have contact with them. Studies of other populations have reported an increased incidence of behavior problems in adopted compared with n…

Infant Symbolic Play as an Early Indicator of Fetal Alcohol‐Related Deficit
Infant symbolic play was examined in relation to prenatal alcohol exposure and socioenvironmental background and to predict which infants met criteria for fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) at 5 years. A total of 107 Cape‐Colored, South African infants born to heavy drinking mothers and abstainers/light drinkers were recruited prenatally. Complexity of play, sociodemographic and psychological correlates of maternal alcohol use, and quality of parenting…
Alcohol and drug‐related effects on development
The articles in this special issue bring together two lines of research that reflect different perspectives on the effects of parental alcohol and drug abuse—the long‐term impact of teratogenic insult due to prenatal exposure and the developmental risks associated with being reared by a substance‐abusing parent. These articles reflect major methodological advances, including the use of moderator variables—particularly, parental psychopathology an…
Detecting risk drinking during pregnancy
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the efficacy of screening for risk drinking during pregnancy with two brief questionnaires, TWEAK and T-ACE. Both include an assessment of tolerance based on the number of drinks women report they can hold. METHODS: Subjects were disadvantaged African-American obstetric patients in Detroit, Mich. Traditional alcoholism screens (Michigan Alcohol Screening Test [MAST], CAGE) and the tolerance question were admini…
Methodological considerations in behavioral toxicology in infants and children
The effect of exposure to neurotoxic substances on cognitive and behavioral development has become an important research focus within developmental psychology in recent years. Research design considerations are critically important in these studies, because random assignment and experimental control of extraneous influences are not possible and effects are often subtle and not seen in every exposed individual. Oversampling from the most highly ex…
Effects of prenatal PCB exposure on cognitive processing efficiency and sustained attention
Four-year-old children exposed prenatally to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), an environmental toxin, were assessed on three tasks―two designed to evaluate cognitive processing efficiency and one to evaluate sustained attention. When compared with standardized IQ tests, these tasks provided greater specificity in identifying cognitive deficits. Adapted for 4-year-old children in the present study, these paradigms demonstrated moderate levels of …

Environmental toxins and behavioral development
Childhood exposure to chemicals rou- tinely encountered in the environment has become an issue of scientific and public concern. Recent research has revealed the inadequacy of traditional notions in which chemically induced illness was likened to overt biological disease. The new multiple-effects model emphasizes subtle behavioral alteration as an early sign of toxicity and as evidence that a particular chemical agent may produce long-term impair…
