The purpose of this project is to conduct a follow-up study with women that had participated in the Yale Pink and Blue Study of depression in pregnancy and birth outcomes. The Yale Pink and Blue Kids Study is a follow-up study with the mothers and also with the children they were pregnant with in Yale Pink and Blue. These children are now between the ages of 4 and 8 years old, which is a perfect time to look at developmental outcomes in children. This study will look at children with exposure to nicotine or antidepressants during pregnancy, as well as children who were not exposed. The investigators hypothesis is that children who were exposed to either nicotine or antidepressants in pregnancy will have poorer developmental outcomes than children who were not exposed. The investigators are also interested in determining whether nicotine exposure or antidepressant exposure results in poorer outcomes.
The investigators specific aims are:

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Externalizing and internalizing behavior | The Revised Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL-2) is one of the most widely-used measures for evaluating maladaptive behavioral and emotional problems in children between the ages of 2 and 18. It assesses internalizing (i.e., anxious, depressive, and overcontrolled) and externalizing (i.e., aggressive, hyperactive, noncompliant, and undercontrolled) behaviors. In addition to the CBCL-2, we will use direct observation of a 2-minute mother-child interaction session to measure externalizing and internalizing symptoms, as parent report on the CBCL-2 may be biased by maternal psychopathology. | 1 year |
| Cognitive Impairment | Cognitive impairment is measured using the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (KBIT-2), which measures both verbal and nonverbal intelligence through questions , riddles, and pictures. A computer test, CogState, will also assess cognitive functioning, specifically executive functioning through card-related tasks that will ask a child to respond in different ways. | 1 year |
| Fine & Gross Motor Development | Fine and Gross Motor Skills will be measured using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2) (10), the most widely administered test of fine and gross motor skills in children ages 4 to 21. Administration time is approximately 60 minutes. Subtests include: Fine Motor Precision, Fine Motor Integration, Manual Dexterity, and Bilateral Coordination. | 1 Year |

Each subject is a previous study participant known to this research team who has agreed to be contacted about future studies. We will review only their research records and not medical records in order to determine eligibility. There are no subjects for whom the ability to give informed consent can be questioned. All of the subjects were at least the age of 18 at the time of their initial PAB participation between 2005-2008, and thus are at least age 20 at the present time. All subjects are English speaking.
These are women who participated in the PAB Study (HIC #12394) and delivered a singleton birth (no twins or triplets) between 2005-2008. We are inviting them and their children (now aged 4-8) to participate.

We will be collecting saliva from mothers and their children in order to look at certain genes that may be related to developmental outcomes.
