Title of project:
Essential fatty acid status, alcohol and tobacco misuse and genetic variance in candidate pathways
Proposal summary:
Objective 1. To determine if essential fatty acid levels during pregnancy, or at age 7, are associated with alcohol and tobacco misuse in late adolescence.
Objective 2. To determine if essential fatty acid levels during pregnancy, or at age 7, are associated with candidate intermediate behavioural phenotypes that increase risk for alcohol and tobacco misuse in late adolescence.
Objective 3. To determine if genetic variations in candidate pathways are associated with increased risk of intermediate behavioural phenotypes and increased risk for alcohol and tobacco misuse in late adolescence.
