  • Title: Psychological characteristics and development of narcotic-addicted infants.
    Author: Strauss ME, Reynolds KS.
    Journal: Drug Alcohol Depend; 1983 Dec; 12(4):381-93. PubMed ID: 6200284.
    Abstract:
    This paper reviews neonatal and developmental behavioral characteristics of children born to heroin- and methadone-addicted women. Evidence of behavioral effects is clearer and more consistent for the neonatal period than in later infancy and childhood. It has not been shown that additional risk for psychological disturbance in childhood is contributed by passive addiction in utero. Methodologic problems in this literature are described and suggestions for strategies and directions in research are offered.
