Abstract

Approximately 4.2% of pregnant women consume illicit drugs during pregnancy (AIHW, 2011). Drug exposed infants are more likely to be born small for gestational age, be preterm, and be admitted to special care or intensive care nurseries (AIHW, 2007). In addition to this, drug exposed infants are more likely to demonstrate insecure attachment patterns with their caregivers (Swanson et al. 2000; Twomey et al. 2010) and are more at risk of mental health concerns later in life (Behnke et al. 2013).
