“…Careful consideration of the rearing environment including continued postnatal substance exposure, the role of co-occurring risk factors, and potential protective processes as significant predictors (as opposed to control variables) is critical to move the field forward. To the extent that longitudinal cohorts of substance-exposed families include families facing additional disparities related to race and color, theories that integrate race, ethnicity, and cultural processes in developmental frameworks (Witherspoon & Stein 2023) are important and seldom utilized in this field. Understanding prenatal substance exposure effects on the life span necessitates that our frameworks incorporate lived experiences of families beyond the prenatal period while maintaining high methodological rigor in the measurement of exposure itself and understanding the biology of prenatal exposure on the developing fetus (see Figure 1).…”

This is an evaluative review of the field of prenatal substance exposure, with a focus on neurobiological and behavioral outcomes from infancy to young adulthood. We provide an overall evaluation of the state of the field and comment on current conceptual and methodological issues in need of attention. Although there are many studies of prenatal substance exposure, developmental frameworks that incorporate and reflect the lived experiences of children and families have seldom been employed in this field. In addition, although there are some common effects (e.g., on fetal growth) between major substances, there are also unique effects. Thus, we discuss the role of specific substances but note that polysubstance exposure is common, and models and methods used to date may not be sufficient to advance understanding of coexposure or polyexposure effects. We discuss these conceptual and methodological weaknesses and provide suggestions for future directions. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Developmental Psychology, Volume 5 is December 2023.
