Prenatal Substance Use Policies And Infant Maltreatment Reports
What effect do state punitive and supportive prenatal substance use policies have on infant maltreatment reports?

In the April issue of Health Affairs, Johanna Catherine Maclean and coauthors examine the impact of policies that criminalize prenatal substance use on reports of infant maltreatment to child protection agencies.

They find that substantiated infant maltreatment reports with the mother as the perpetrator increased by 38.4 percent after punitive prenatal substance use policies were adopted by states in 2004–18.

"We did not find changes in unsubstantiated reports, suggesting that increases in total and substantiated reports arose from new identification of incidents that would have otherwise not been filed by health care providers or screened in for Child Protective Services investigation," the authors report.
