- A study investigated maternal smoking and secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure during pregnancy in relation to ADHD prevalence among children in Saudi Arabia, as previous research on this topic was limited.
- Out of 217 parents surveyed, 6.4% of mothers smoked during pregnancy and 41% reported SHS exposure, with most children diagnosed with the combined subtype of ADHD.
- The findings indicated that family income and child gender were influential factors in ADHD subtype distribution, while maternal smoking and SHS exposure did not significantly affect ADHD outcomes, highlighting the need for better public health measures against smoking during pregnancy.
