“…Frequent, heavy maternal drinking is associated with poorer family functioning, poorer intellectual stimulation, and increased domestic violence (Jester et al, 2000). Mothers with alcohol dependence are more likely to report punitive behaviors toward their children (Miller et al, 1999). Although not specific to alcohol, a study by Whitaker (2006) documented an increased likelihood of childhood behavior problems among children whose mothers had co-occurring mental-health, substance-use, and domestic-violence conditions.…”

Objective-The purposes of this investigation were (1) to describe postpartum drinking patterns among women who were frequent drinkers before pregnancy and (2) to identify factors correlated with postpartum "risky" drinking among women who were frequent drinkers before pregnancy.Method-Information was gathered through a self-administered questionnaire completed at the postpartum visit and a subsequent face-to-face interview of 381 women, recruited from 35 obstetric/ gynecologic clinics throughout Wisconsin, who reported frequent drinking before pregnancy. Multivariate analyses were used to identify correlates of postpartum risky drinking, defined as consuming four or more drinks per occasion (heavy episodic drinking) at least twice in the past 28 days or drinking an average of seven or more drinks per week.Results-Overall, 37.8% (n = 144) women reported postpartum risky drinking. Eighteen percent reported heavy episodic drinking only, 5% reported frequent drinking only, and 15% reported both behaviors. Postpartum risky drinkers were more likely than other women to have had a partner who engaged in risky drinking (odds ratio [OR] = 2.6, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.5-4.5), to have been unemployed (OR = 3.0, 95% CI: 1.2-7.7), to have smoked following pregnancy (OR = 1.9, 95% CI: 1.0-3.5), and to have consumed alcohol after the recognition of pregnancy (OR = 4.8, 95% CI: 2.2-10.6). Women who breast-fed their child were less likely to report risky drinking (OR = 0.3, 95% CI: 0.2-0.5).Conclusions-In the postpartum period, health care providers may want to focus alcohol screening efforts on former frequent drinkers who are smokers, are unemployed, have a partner who is a risky drinker, or are not breast-feeding.

“…En lo que se refiere a los estilos parentales, la drogodependencia materna se ha asociado con estilos educativos rígidos, inconsistentes y/o amenazantes 25,91,94 , que a medio o largo plazo pueden producir alteraciones conductuales o afectivas de diverso grado en el niño. No obstante, existe cierta variabilidad en las muestras que podrían estar mediada por, al menos, dos factores.…”

RESUMENObjetivos: Revisar la relación entre la exposición prenatal a drogas y el pronóstico fetal, neonatal e infantil. Material y méto-dos: se estudia el estado actual de la investigación relativa a la exposición prenatal a sustancias psicoactivas, mediante una extensa revisión de Medline y de las investigaciones de organismos norteamericanas y europeos durante los últimos años. Se presta especial atención a las dificultades metodológicas derivadas del objeto de estudio y a otros factores tales como la relación materno-infantil y las características de la mujer adicta. Resultados: la exposición prenatal a drogas se asocial a un amplio rango de complicaciones obstétricas y alteraciones neuroconductuales infantiles. Con la excepción del síndrome alcohólico fetal y otros efectos fetales ligados al alcohol, estas alteraciones suelen encontrarse en dominios cognitivos específicos y pueden estar moduladas por factores psicosociales y ambientales. Conclusiones: los niños expuestos prenatalmente a drogas pueden ser considerados un caso especial de infancia en riesgo. Es necesario investigar el impacto real de la exposición prenatal a sustancias psicoactivas y la relevancia de otros factores en su pronóstico a medio y largo plazo. Asimismo, es necesario implicar y formar a diferentes profesionales, tales como obstetras, ginecólogos y pediatras, y coordinar la intervención de las diferentes instituciones, para mejorar la atención prestada a la mujer drogodependiente y a sus hijos.Palabras clave: mujer, droga, teratógeno, embarazo de alto riesgo, manifestaciones neuroconductuales.

“…Poly-substance use is of concern because women who use and abuse multiple substances may present with more complex medical and psychiatric problems when compared to those whose use is limited to a single substance (11). For mothers in particular, both alcohol and drug abuse are associated with poor parenting practices and a wide range of negative psychosocial outcomes for their children (12). However, the literature on alcohol and drug abuse among HIVinfected mothers is limited because studies have focused mainly on female injection drug users who are less likely than non-injectors to be their child's primary parent (5).…”

Problem drinking is of great concern for mothers, especially those who are HIV-infected. We compared background characteristics, co-occurring drug use, and physical and mental health functioning of urban HIV-infected and uninfected mothers with problem drinking who were raising adolescents. Mothers in both groups reported similarly high levels of lifetime and current alcohol and drug use and poor physical and mental health. Health outcomes for mothers with problem drinking do not appear to be exacerbated by HIV status. Implications for intervention efforts with mothers and their adolescent children are discussed.
