18 Critical Windows of Exposure for Children s Health Evidence supports associations between maternal exposure to air pollution during pregnancy and children s health outcomes. Recent interest focuses on critical windows of vulnerability. We have estimated daily exposures from multiple pollutants: NO 2, OC, EC, Sulfate, O 3, NH 4 Recent work has shown distributed lag modeling (DLM) can outperform models based on trimester-averaged exposures (TAE). No corresponding methods for air pollution mixtures. Goal: Develop DLM methods for air pollution mixtures. Harvard ACE Project 2 May 30, / 34

Y i = h (z i1,..., z im ) + x T i β + ɛ i, i = 1,..., n h ( ) is an unknown function β: effects of the confounders; ɛ i iid N ( 0, σ 2 ) Harvard ACE Project 2 May 30, / 34

21 Bayesian Kernel Machine Regression - DLM Ultimately interest focuses on z mi (t), m = 1,..., M Y i = h(e 1i,..., E Mi ) + x T i β + ɛ i. E mi = z mi (t)w m (t)dt. Model fitting estimates the critical windows w m (t) and the mixture effect h() simultaneously. Harvard ACE Project 2 May 30, / 34

22 ACCESS Prospective Birth Cohort ORIGINAL ARTICLE Study participants (i): 191 Boston-area births between 8/2002 and 1/2007 traditional LUR predictors to yield residence-specific estimates of daily PM 2.5 as detailed previously (22). The model was run using day-specific calibrations of AOD data using ground PM 2.5 measurements from 78 monitoring stations covering New England and LUR and meteorologic variables (temperature, wind speed, visibility, elevation, distance to major roads, percent open space, point emissions, and area emissions). This approach incorporates highly resolved spatial information from the LUR data and important spatiotemporal data from the remote sensing satellite data. The AOD-PM 2.5 relationship was calibrated for each day using data from grid cells with both monitor and AOD values using mixed models with random slopes for day, nested within region. For days without AOD data (because of cloud coverage, snow, and so forth), the model was fit with a smooth function of latitude and longitude and a random intercept for each cell (similar to universal Kriging). The out of sample 10-fold cross validation R 2 for daily values was 0.83 and 0.81 for days with and without available AOD data, respectively. For use in the health effect models, to reduce potential noise caused by day-to-day PM 2.5 variation, daily levels were averaged into weekly exposure profiles. Predicted overall prenatal PM 2.5 levels at participant s residence in Exposure (Z mit ): NO 2, OC, EC, S, O 3, NH 4 at maternal residence for each week (t) of pregnancy Outcomes (Y i ): FEV 1 at age 8 relation to the km grids for which AOD data were available are shown in Figure 1. Although levels were higher around major roadways as anticipated, there was reasonable heterogeneity. Asthma Maternal-reported clinician-diagnosed asthma was ascertained from birth up to age 6 years through telephone and face-to- A validation analysis on a subset of 121 ACCESS women showed no difference in the level of agreement/disagreement for height and weight when comparing values PM 2.5 estimates over pregnancy (µg/m 3 ) Major road ways 10 10km prediction grid Kilometers Baseline covariates (X i ): child sex, maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, age, education, race/ethnicity, atopy, self reported smoking during pregnancy, stress index, neighborhood disadvantage index [figure source: Hsu et al.

The km aerosol optical depth grid used to predict daily PM2.5 levels is also depicted. a confounder. We measured stress using the Crisis in Family Systems-Revised survey administered prenatally within 2 weeks of enrollment (37, 38). This survey assesses life events experienced across 11 domains (e.g., financial, relationships, violence, housing, discrimination/prejudice). Mothers endorsed events experienced in the past 6 months and rated each as measured early in pregnancy (,10 wk) with self-report (34). Women were asked about smoking at enrollment and in the third trimester and classified as prenatal smokers if smoking at either visit. Mothers Harvard ACEreported Project postnatal 2 smoking and whether positive, May negative, 30, or 2018 neutral. The number 22 / 34 N

26 Delay of Onset and Exposure Error in Case-Crossover Designs Time-stratified case-crossover studies often used to estimate effect of air pollution on acute events For each event, create set of reference times based on same year, month, DOW, and hour Delayed recording of event onset yields exposure error. Can yield severe attenuation of effect estimates (Lokken et al. 2009). Goal: Develop a method that corrects for this bias based on a validation sample of delay times.
