El embarazo y las tendencias de uso de drogas

El abuso de drogas puede ocurrir en cualquier etapa de la vida de una mujer. Sin embargo, aproximadamente la mitad de las mujeres que usan drogas ilícitas se encuentran en edad de procrear, o sea, tienen entre 15 y 44 años de edad. En 1992 y 1993, NIDA condujo una encuesta en los hospitales de toda la nación para determinar las proporciones del abuso de drogas entre mujeres embarazadas en los Estados Unidos. Todavía esta Encuesta nacional sobre el embarazo y la salud* es la que ofrece los datos más recientes que tenemos a nuestra disposición.
