New research suggests that children whose mothers consumed alcohol during pregnancy have a higher risk of depression in their teens.

However, the researchers found little evidence that partners' drinking was linked with children's depression. They explain that as a partner's alcohol consumption is unlikely to have a direct biological effect on the developing fetus, unlike the mother's, this suggests that the link between maternal drinking and depression may be causal.

"What was really interesting here is that we also investigated paternal alcohol use during pregnancy and did not find a similar association. Many of the indirect factors that could explain the maternal effects are shared between mothers and partners ; despite this, we only found associations for mothers drinking."

One of those bullshit studies that don’t really mean much. Sure 17% higher risk but what’s the baseline? If normal is 1% risk then it’s 1.17% chance. Doesn’t say much. Not condoning just useless clickbait
