dc.description.notesThis research evaluated the effects of drug use on pregnancy outcomes of 456 teenage antenatal patients attending three Australian obstetric hospitals. Their use of illegal drugs before and during pregnancy was established through interviews and questionnaires completed between July 1998 and June 2000. It was found that 79.6 per cent of the cohort did not use drugs during pregnancy, but half of them used before the pregnancy or expectancy diagnosis. However, 13.6 per cent of the sample used marijuana throughout pregnancy, and 6.8 per cent used marijuana and other drugs and solvents. Teenagers using marijuana were more likely to be homeless, socially isolated or victims of domestic violence than the no-drug group. Antenatal complications were similar between the three groups; complication rates were particularly high in respect to preterm birth. Delivery and infant outcomes were also similar.en
