Peer reviewedSteven, Sonya; Ahlstrom, Ann Stiehm – Future of Children, 1991
Discusses the problem of drug-exposed infants from the perspective of a county attorney's office, focusing on a new Minnesota law that responds to the problem through early identification and provision of services. The approach calls for mandated reporting by medical providers and includes the possibility of civil commitment. (SLD)
