Unraveling intersectional risks: Postnatal adversities condition the impact of prenatal alcohol exposures on early childhood sleep outcomes

The current study aimed to examine the influence of distinct patterns of prenatal alcohol exposure and postnatal threat and deprivation during infancy on sleep outcomes at three-years. Data were derived from a longitudinal cohort originating from predominately low-income hospital settings in Australia.
