A recent analysis published in JAMA Pediatrics investigates exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) during pregnancy in relation to third-generation attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This paper presents results from the Nurses’ Health Study II (NHS-II) cohort. In this webinar, Dr. Marianthi-Anna Kioumourtzoglou, Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, described the study design, statistical analyses, and the findings of this study.
Featured Speaker
Marianthi-Anna Kioumourtzoglou, ScD, is an environmental epidemiologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, New York. Her research focuses primarily on how environmental exposures impact human health, with a special emphasis on air pollution exposures and neurological and psychiatric outcomes. She is also investigating factors that potentially modify these associations, including community and neighborhood characteristics, and weather. In addition, she is very interested in statistical issues related to environmental epidemiology, such as exposure to environmental mixtures and exposure measurement error.
