Fig. 1: Receptive language by level of FAEEs and placement type at ages 10 and 12.
From: Fatty acid ethyl esters in meconium and language development at 10 and 12 years
Low FAEEs are defined as FAEE factor scores < median, with high as FAEE factor scores ≥ median. Due to no age-by-FAEEs or age-by-placement interactions, the presented scores represent average receptive language scores over time adjusted for covariates listed in Table 2, Model 1. Significant adjusted mean (Madj) differences between children in non-kinship care (n = 8, Madj = 96.92, SE = 4.85) and children in maternal/kinship care (n = 84, Madj = 81.61, SE = 1.10) in children with low FAEE, p = 0.002, and between children with low FAEEs and children with high FAEEs (n = 10, Madj = 83.09, SE = 3.90) within non-kinship care, p = 0.025. No difference between children in non-kinship care and children in maternal/kinship care (n = 87, Madj = 78.87, SE = 1.15) in children with high FAEE, p = 0.30.
