RODRIGUES, Amanda Prachthäuser et al. How crack and other drugs can influence in the development of children who have been exposed during the gestational period. []. , 13, 1, pp.1-13. ISSN 1809-8908.

In the face of national and international research, the high incidence of pregnant women users of crack has connoted important debate about its consequences, especially for the child. This article describes the effects of crack, which can have consequences since the formation of the fetus and can be prolonged throughout the development of the child. It has been observed that crack during the prenatal period directly interferes with the cognitive development of the fetus and that external factors can contribute to the effects of these effects on children. Among the consequences, there are problems with learning and attention, social problems, neurological formation, and rare malformations. It is understood that the use of crack during pregnancy involves psychosocial issues, and is related to behavioral pathologies.
