“…Effects of substance use on the developing child depend on the chemical composition of the drug and—to some extent—its method of delivery. However, almost all commonly used illicit and legal drugs are thought to have teratogenic effects (e.g., Flak et al, 2014; Huizink & Mulder, 2006; Richardson, Hester, & McLemore, 2016; Singer et al, 2016; Wright, Schuetter, Tellei, & Sauvage, 2015).

“…There are some challenges in attributing causality to the use of particular substances and in ultimately tracing this back to P-IPV. These include the commonality of polydrug use (making individual drug pathways difficult to disentangle), stigma surrounding admitting drug use during pregnancy (e.g., Glass & Mattson, 2016), and the presence of confounding with psychosocial characteristics of the mother and family (e.g., D’Onofrio, Class, Lahey, & Larsson, 2014; Singer et al, 2016). Moreover, no study has to our knowledge yet examined whether substance use is a mediator of the effects of P-IPV on the child.…”

“…It is well-known that the prenatal period is one of the particular sensitivity to the effects of insults such as infective agents, substance use, stress, poor nutrition, and inadequate health care (e.g., Bale et al, 2010; Flinkkilä, Keski-Rahkonen, Marttunen, & Raevuori, 2016; Kim, Bale, & Epperson, 2015; Monk, Georgieff, & Osterholm, 2013). These exposures increase the risk of a range of child developmental outcomes including neurodevelopmental disorders, mental illness, and lower intellectual functioning (e.g., Bale, 2015; Flinkkilä et al 2016; Kim et al, 2015; Simanek & Meier, 2015; Singer, Min, Lang, & Minnes, 2016). While P-IPV is known to be associated with many of these same exposures and child developmental outcomes (e.g., Alhusen, Lucea, Bullock, & Sharps, 2013; Devries et al, 2013; Flach et al, 2011; Islam, Broidy, Baird, & Mazerolle, 2017; Martinez-Torteya, Bogat, Levendosky, & Von Eye, 2016; Silverman, Decker, Reed, & Raj, 2006), the intervention potential of these apparent links is yet to be fully exploited.…”

Prenatal intimate partner violence (P-IPV) can have significant adverse impacts on both mother and fetus. Existing P-IPV interventions focus on the safety of the mother and on reducing revictimization; yet expanding these to address the adverse impact on the fetus has considerable potential for preventing long-term negative developmental outcomes. In this review, we draw together evidence on major pathways linking exposure to P-IPV and child outcomes, arguing that these pathways represent potential targets to improve P-IPV intervention efforts. Using a narrative review of 112 articles, we discuss candidate pathways linking P-IPV to child outcomes, as well as their implications for intervention. Articles were identified via key word searches of social science and medical databases and by inspection of reference lists of the most relevant articles, including recent reviews and meta-analyses. Articles were included if they addressed issues relevant to understanding the effects of P-IPV on child outcomes via six core pathways: maternal stress and mental illness, maternal–fetal attachment, maternal substance use, maternal nutritional intake, maternal antenatal health-care utilization, and infection. We also included articles relevant for linking these pathways to P-IPV interventions. We conclude that developing comprehensive P-IPV interventions that target immediate risk to the mother as well as long-term child outcomes via the candidate mediating pathways identified have significant potential to help reduce the global burden of P-IPV.
