Abstract

Child abuse Legal status, laws, etc Perinatal substance abuse Pregant women Prenatal substance abuse Substance abuse in pregnancy
Throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s, the media gave extraordinary coverage to the war on drugs. News reports were typically presented in extremely alarmist terms, reporting crack as “a plague’ that was ‘eating away at the fabric of America.” Such claims were routinely made despite the lack of evidence to support them.
