Associations between social adversity, caregiver psychological factors, and language outcomes in 9.5-year-old children born to women with opioid use disorder.
Child Neuropsychology : a Journal on Normal and Abnormal Development in Childhood and Adolescence 2023 October 25
We describe the language ability of children at age 9.5 years who were born to women with an opioid use disorder and examine the associations between prenatal opioid exposure, sex, social adversity, caregiver psychological factors, and child language. Data were drawn from the regional prospective longitudinal Canterbury Methadone in Pregnancy study. At the 9.5-year wave, 80 children who were born to mothers in Methadone Maintenance Treatment and their caregivers, and 98 non-exposed comparison children were assessed using a comprehensive standardized measure of language. Information related to social adversity and caregiver psychological factors was obtained from comprehensive caregiver interviews. At age 9.5 years, opioid-exposed children had lower language scores than the non-exposed children, however their group average was within the normal range on the CELF-4 norms. A series of multivariate hierarchical regression models predicting low language at 9.5 years showed sex and opioid-exposure status predicted low language in the first step. The addition of social adversity factors significantly improved the model. The further addition of caregiver psychological factors did not improve prediction. Only sex was a significant predictor throughout. In this sample, children prenatally exposed to opioids were at higher risk of low language outcomes. However, the child being male and social adversity were important influencing factors. This suggests early language support services are indicated for opioid-exposed children, particularly boys and those in socially adverse circumstances.
