Children's health studies support an association between maternal
environmental exposures and children's birth outcomes. A common goal is to
identify critical windows of susceptibility--periods during gestation with
increased association between maternal exposures and a future outcome. The
timing of the critical windows and magnitude of the associations are likely
heterogeneous across different levels of individual, family, and neighborhood
characteristics. Using an administrative Colorado birth cohort we estimate the
individualized relationship between weekly exposures to fine particulate matter
(PM2.5) during gestation …
