This longitudinal study examines the role of parents' alcohol problems on developmental trajectories of children's self-regulation, peer relationships, and cognitive development using a transactional approach that considers multiple influences on parenting and child development. These include factors associated with parents' alcohol problems such as depression and antisocial behavior as well as contextual factors such as marital aggression, life stress, and support . Families were assessed when children were 12, 18, 24, 36 months of age, at 4 years, upon entry into kindergarten, and during 4th and 6th grade.

Time First year
This longitudinal, multi-method study is investigating the impact of prenatal exposure to cigarettes on the development of self-regulation in infants over the first two years of life. Because most women who smoke cigarettes during pregnancy continue to smoke after delivery and have partners who smoke, children's exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) will also be examined.
