View Medical News Prenatal Cocaine Exposure Affects Attention in Early School Years [3/1] Vote Up Vote Down http://www.cfah.org/hbns/getDocument.cfm?documentID=1517 Submitted by krishna 17 months, 2 days, 15 hours ago Adding to the evidence that maternal drug use can have lasting effects, a new study finds that young schoolchildren of cocaine-using moms scored more poorly on attention tests. Researchers looked at test scores of 415 African-American children who took tests at age 5 or 7 (now 14 to 16 years old). The mothers of 219 of the children had taken cocaine while pregnant, and the mothers of the other 196 had not. All of the mothers were poor and living in the Miami inner city.
