摘要

Teenage pregnancy is a serious public health issue because of the risk for short- and long-term negative consequences for the mother and child. Compared with pregnant adults, pregnant teens are at increased risk for having pregnancy-related complications, premature delivery, and delivering babies with developmental problems. Pre- and postnatal health problems for both mother and child are compounded when the mother uses alcohol or drugs. This is of particular concern for pregnant teens because they tend to recognize their pregnancies later than adult women; pregnant teens are more likely to engage in binge drinking and drug use early in their pregnancies. Research shows that when mothers use drugs during pregnancy, babies born to these mothers can exhibit signs of addiction at birth, and long-term effects of maternal prenatal drug use have been observed in children at 6 years of age. These problems can be amplified by other factors associated with teenage mothers, including poverty, homelessness, exposure to violence and crime, poor health, and lack of access to health care. Substance abuse treatment provides an important opportunity to halt cycles of substance use and abuse among pregnant teens and, in turn, prevent or mitigate the short- and long-term impact of teen maternal substance use.
