The first publication, "Association of Maternal Smoking During Pregnancy With Neurophysiological and ADHD-Related Outcomes in School-Aged Children" (section 2.1 of the dissertation), of which I am the sole first author, was published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (impact factor: 4.614) in 2022. For this original research, I contributed 80% of the conceptual design, 90% of the literature research, and 100% of the data analysis and interpretation of results. I also contributed 90% of drafting and revising the manuscript. I was not involved in ethics approval or data collection for this study. The data were obtained as part of a large longitudinal cohort study, with all analyses and results originating from my own work. The second publication, "Long-Term Impact of Maternal Prenatal Smoking on EEG Brain Activity and Internalizing/Externalizing Problem Symptoms in Young Adults" (section 2.2 of the dissertation), of which I am the sole first author, was published in Addictive Behaviors (impact factor: 3.7) in 2024. For this research, I contributed 80% of the conceptual design, 100% to data analysis, 90% each to the literature research and interpretation of results, and 90% to the drafting of the manuscript. The data were again obtained from a longitudinal cohort study, and I was not involved in the ethics application for the study. date: 2025 id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00037107 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-371078 date_accepted: 2025-07-09 advisor: HASH(0x55d7596d34f0) language: eng bibsort: JANSONKARITHEEFFECTO20250127 full_text_status: public place_of_pub: Heidelberg citation: Janson, Karina (2025) The Effect of Maternal Prenatal Smoking on Brain Activity in Childhood, Adolescence, and Young Adulthood and Its Association with Behavioral and Cognitive Development Using Data from Longitudinal Cohort Studies.
