Five years after the Three Mile Island nuclear accident, the mental health of women who had been pregnant and living within 10 miles of Three Mile Island at the time of the accident was similar to that of women from the same area who became pregnant after the accident. Ratings of the development of the two groups of children when they were 5 years old were also similar. However, women who were pregnant during the crisis and had been "extremely disturbed" about their pregnancies rated their children's health as poorer than did the women who were pregnant later.
三里岛核事故发生五年后，事故发生时怀孕且居住在三里岛方圆10英里内的女性的心理健康状况，与事故后怀孕的同一地区女性的心理健康状况相似。两组儿童5岁时的发育评分也相似。然而，在危机期间怀孕且对自己的怀孕状况“极度困扰”的女性，对其孩子健康状况的评价比后来怀孕的女性要低。
