Prenatal Methamphetamine Exposure & Child Outcome: What Do We Know? , Thursday, April 24 2008 Barry M. Lester, Ph.D. Professor, Psychiatry & Human Behavior and Pediatrics Director, Brown Center for the Study of Children Providence, RI
Systematic research on the developmental outcome of children with prenatal methamphetamine exposure is just beginning. Findings from most available studies are difficult to interpret because of methodological problems. This presentation will review the current literature and then present findings from the Infant Development Environment And Lifestyle (IDEAL) study. IDEAL is a multisite longitudinal study of approximately 400 methamphetamine exposed and methamphetamine unexposed children. Findings from birth to age three will be discussed.
