Title: Perinatal cocaine effects on neonatal stress behavior and performance on the Brazelton Scale. Author: Eisen LN, Field TM, Bandstra ES, Roberts JP, Morrow C, Larson SK, Steele BM. Journal: Pediatrics; 1991 Sep; 88(3):477-80. PubMed ID: 1881726.

The cocaine-exposed newborns experienced more obstetric complications, had smaller head circumferences, showed more limited habituation abilities on the Brazelton Scale, and exhibited more stress behaviors than control newborns.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
