Critical Review of Evidence for Neonatal Cocaine Intoxication and Withdrawal
Published in Richard J. Konkol, George D. Olsen, Prenatal Cocaine Exposure, 2020
Delia A. Dempsey, Donna M. Ferriero, Sarah N. Jacobson
Although the data presented in Table 7.2 indicate that cocaine-exposed newborns are commonly symptomatic, many of the above studies suffer from methodological problems 45,63 Uncontrolled studies found a very high incidence of withdrawal signs.44,53 Controlled studies reported much lower rates of abnormal signs.6,7,54,55. There are 4 controlled studies which could not demonstrate clinically significant differences in “withdrawal” signs between cocaine-exposed and control new-borns.1,5,64,65 Similarly, abnormalities on the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale have been inconsistent.1,11,44,58,66–68.
Measurement in Developmental Therapy: Past, Present, and Future
Published in Lucy Jane Miller, Developing Norm-Referenced Standardized Tests, 2020
In the area of pediatrics, one need think only of the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale to identify the potentialities involved in the development of new tools for use in practice and research.32 Appearance of this scale generated an explosion of research on the interactive characteristics of neonatal personality, applied research on individual differences, and on the influence of environmental exposure to drugs, intervention, premature birth and other factors. The scale has also led to new tools for assessing premature and other high risk infants, opening up still more avenues for clinical practice and research.
Long-Term Effects: Cognitive Impairment and Other Behavioral Disorders*
Published in Ernest L. Abel, Smoking and Reproduction: An Annotated Bibliography, 2017
17.d.6. Saxton, D. W., The behaviour of infants whose mothers smoke in pregnancy, Early Hum. Dev., 2, 363–369, 1978. Infants (4 to 6 days of age) of smokers (N = 15, 15 cigarettes per day or more) and nonsmokers (N = 17) were compared using the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale. Mothers were matched for maternal age, social class, and parity. Infants were spontaneous term deliveries of normal birthweight and did not differ in sex distribution, length of labor, analgesia, or obstetrical factors. Infants did not differ in overall behavior but infants of smokers showed decrements on items having an auditory component, e.g., response decrease to repetitive sound, animate orientation.
Managing the child born preterm after hospital discharge

Home-based early intervention programs that support the development of the caregiver-infant relationship via training in reciprocal behaviors have been shown to be effective (Anderson & Cacola, 2017). For example, in one study a modified version of the Mother-Infant Transaction Program led to fewer behavioral problems reported by parents at five years corrected age for children with BWs of <2000 g (Nordhov, Rønning, Ulvund, Dahl, & Kaaresen, 2012). Several interventions focused on teaching parents to read their child’s behavioral cues are available, and while the evidence to support these programs’ specific use at home with children born preterm is limited, they may be useful clinical tools where indicated. Such tools include Dr. T. Berry Brazelton’s Newborn Behavioral Observations and the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (Barlow, Herath, Bartram Torrance, Bennett, & Wei, 2018; White-Traut et al., 2013).

The behavioral state was assessed using the adapted Brazelton’s Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale, which consists of identifying the newborn’s state, according to sleep and movement. The scale classifies the newborn behavior into 6 states: State 1 (Deep/Quiet Sleep), characterized by deep, motionless sleep, and regular breathing; State 2 (Active/Light Sleep), characterized by light sleep, eyes closed, some body movement; State 3 (Drowsiness), characterized by sleepy state, with eyes opening and closing; State 4 (Quiet Alert), characterized by awake state, with minimal body movement; State 5 (Active Alert), characterized by fully awake state, with vigorous body movements; and State 6, crying (Brazelton, Parker, and Zuckerman, 1976). Therefore, newborns’ behavioral state was credited from 1 to 6.
