“…Findings are most extensive for cocaine, which is indicative of the emphasis in prenatal drug exposure research over the past 15 years. Published data for prenatal cocaine exposure provide findings for assessment ages ranging from the neonatal period to preadolescence~e.g., Eyler et al, 2001;Savage, Brodsky, Malmud, Giannetta, & Hurt, 2005!. Research involving exposure to methamphetamine in utero began relatively recently, and some early reports are available~Arria et Scott, Fleming, Bennett, & Graves, 2005;Smith, Lagasse, et al, 2004!. Research reports indicate that there is a modest but consistent effect of prenatal cocaine exposure~PNCE! on neurobehavioral function in neonates~Morrow et al, 2001!.…”

Research has shown that both prenatal alcohol and tobacco exposure are associated with increased risk of significant adverse medical, developmental, and behavioral outcomes including substance abuse. Research on the outcomes of prenatal exposure to illicit drugs~PNDE! has also found increased physical and behavioral problems for gestationally drug-exposed children. However, a clear picture has not emerged on whether the consequences of PNDE are independent from those associated with having a substance abusing parent and whether PNDE increases vulnerability to drug abuse. Because of its typical co-occurrence with factors inherent in having a drug-abusing parent, PNDE is at least a marker of significant increased risk for a range of negative outcomes including greater vulnerability to substance abuse. Although a review of the relevant research literatures indicates that the direct consequences of PNDE appear to be generally both subtle and nonglobal, PNDE does appear to have negative developmental and behavioral outcomes, and there is evidence that it is a modest direct contributor to increased substance abuse vulnerability.
