Drugs and children: taking care of the victims.

Infants exposed to cocaine during fetal growth are at risk for developmental difficulties, including vision problems. It is estimated that over 10 percent of the infants born in city hospitals have been exposed to cocaine. Additionally, older infants and children exposed to environmental cocaine are also at risk. All health care providers seeing children will need to be sensitive to the needs of these at-risk children.
