Psychological Functioning of Children Exposed to Cocaine Prenatally.

Granick, Samuel

Journal of Child and Adolescent Substance Abuse, v4 n3 p1-16 1995

A sample of 25 children exposed prenatally to cocaine was compared with a control group of 18 children not exposed to any drugs prenatally. Using the AGS (American Guidance Service) Screening Profile, results indicated that the control group was significantly superior on all subtests except for the Motor Coordination and Speech Articulation sections.
