Abstract

Recent studies indicate a complex picture of the effects of maternal cocaine abuse with the majority of negative outcomes a result of dose response effects and cumulative risk factors. This paper reviews recent research within a historic perspective and provide an overview of current knowledge of perinatal outcomes, including neurobehavioral effects and the effect of treatment on mothers and newborns.
