Area of Science:

  • Perinatal Medicine
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Increasing use of popular literature terms like 'crack babies'.
  • Growing incidence of prenatal cocaine exposure.
  • Lack of synthesized literature on effects and care for exposed infants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize existing literature on perinatal cocaine exposure.
  • To explicate manifestations, effects, and sequelae.
  • To propose a model for underlying mechanisms of exposure effects.

Main Methods:

  • Literature synthesis and analysis.
  • Identification of predictor variables (gestational timing, dose).
  • Model development for exposure mechanisms.

Main Results:

  • Identified key predictor variables: timing of exposure and dosage.
  • Explicated physiological and psychosocial manifestations.
  • Proposed a model for understanding exposure effects.

Conclusions:

  • Gestational timing and cocaine dose are critical factors.
  • Individualized intervention protocols are necessary for affected infants.
  • Prevention programs targeting women of childbearing age are recommended.
