What Ever Happened to Crack Babies?
Brief overview from December 2006 about a 1985 "study in The New England Journal of Medicine [that] suggested that prenatal cocaine exposure could cause behavioral and learning problems, ... [and the subsequent] media maelstrom over 'crack babies.'" Discusses further studies which "have found no scientific basis for such claims," and how doctors have stated that the terms "ice babies" and "meth babies" should not be used. Includes links to related stories. From Discover magazine.
