Nearly 1 in 12 newborns in the United States in 2020 or about 300,000 infants were exposed to alcohol, opioids, marijuana or cocaine before they were born.
Exposure to these substances puts these newborns at a higher risk for premature birth, low birth weight and physical and mental disabilities.
After alcohol, cannabis is the most common psychoactive substance used during pregnancy.
Research on long-term outcomes of infants exposed to substances in the womb is still evolving.
Limited studies have shown an association between neonatal abstinence syndrome and neurodevelopmental consequences that may develop as early as 6 months old and persist into adolescence.
A broad range of deficits are referred to as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.
