The deterrent effect of state mandatory child abuse and neglect reporting laws on alcohol and drug use during pregnancy.[electronic resource] - 216 p.

Logistic regression analysis is performed, using data from the 1988 National Maternal and Infant Health Survey, to identify associations between changing substance use after knowledge of the pregnancy and three policy measures: existence of state child abuse and neglect reporting legislation related to substance use during pregnancy; state child abuse and neglect reporting rates; and presence of criminal prosecutions for substance use during pregnancy in the state. This study indicates social and economic circumstances are more likely than deterrence-based legislation to predict whether or not a woman will reduce or stop substance use during her pregnancy and whether or not she will enter prenatal care. While this study cannot rule out deterrent effects, it does not confirm that child abuse and neglect reporting legislation deters women from using alcohol, marijuana, or cocaine during pregnancy. Instead, this study indicates that cocaine-using women are less likely to enter prenatal care services if they live in states that have child abuse and neglect legislation targeting this issue. The legislation appears to deter cocaine users from seeking prenatal care. Both reducing or stopping use and entering prenatal care are critical factors in protecting the fetus from harm, which is the intent of state involvement in this issue. This study concludes that to truly protect the fetus from the risk of prenatal harm, policies must address the underlying social, economic and quality of life issues facing pregnant women.

520 # $a This dissertation is a secondary data analysis examining the deterrent effect of state child abuse and neglect reporting laws on the use of alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine by pregnant women. This project also assesses the influence of such legislation on the use of prenatal care services by alcohol, marijuana and cocaine-using pregnant women. After offering historical perspectives on substance abuse by pregnant women, this study provides an overview of the policy debate and policy response to the issue of how best to serve substance-using pregnant women.
