Abstract

Substance abuse among caregivers is a known risk factor for child maltreatment, and some of these children subsequently come to the attention of the child welfare system. The recent opioid epidemic has led to rising numbers of women who use opioids during pregnancy and infants born with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), raising the question of whether there has been a consequent rise in the numbers of these infants reported to the child welfare system. The purpose of this study is to examine the trend in the number and percentage of infants reported to the child welfare system with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) from 2004 to 2014, and determine whether the trend is distinct from the trend in the percentage of infants reported with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD).
