“…We distinguished between baseline covariates determined at or before birth (parental education, gestational age, parity, sex, maternal age at birth, tobacco exposure, and diet quality index), environmental covariates associated with exposure before age 4 (parenting score and breastfeeding), and longitudinal covariates that were measured prior to the SDQ subscale in each period (financial difficulties, income and maternal depression). In our sensitivity analysis we also included polygenic risk scores (PGS) for depression and non-cognitive skills based on previous work by Demange et al, 2021, Turley et al, (2018, and computed as described in Menta et al (2021). Supplemental Appendix A, Sections C and D contain the description of the covariate selection process and model specification.…”
