smoke (SHS) exposure and later alcohol initiation despite its risk for child behavioral …

Background Prenatal alcohol exposure has been linked to a host of negative outcomes,
although it is largely unknown whether prenatal exposure leads to an earlier age of initiation …

While it is not normative to initiate alcohol use prior to adolescence, substantial numbers of
children do so. However, relatively little is known about the prevalence or predictors of …
