我们研究了与妊娠期间非法药物使用有关的惩罚性和优先治疗政策对新生儿药物戒断综合征、低出生体重、低胎龄和产前护理使用率的影响。惩罚性政策将产前使用药物定为刑事犯罪,或在儿童福利法规中将产前接触药物定义为虐待儿童或终止父母权利的理由。优先治疗政策是支持性的,给予孕妇优先获得药物使用障碍治疗方案的机会。我们的实证策略依赖于2008年至2018年的行政数据和差异中的差异框架,该框架利用了这些政策的交错实施。我们发现,新生儿药物戒断综合征增加了10%-18%后,实施的惩罚性政策。这种增长伴随着产前护理的适度减少,这可能反映了对医疗保健利用的威慑。相比之下,优先治疗政策与低胎龄(2%)和低出生体重(2%)的小幅减少有关,沿着产前护理使用的增加。综上所述,我们的研究结果表明,惩罚性的方法可能与意外的不良妊娠结局有关,而支持性的方法可能更有效地改善围产期健康。
We study the effect of punitive and priority treatment policies relating to illicit substance use during pregnancy on the rate of neonatal drug withdrawal syndrome, low birth weight, low gestational age, and prenatal care use. Punitive policies criminalize prenatal substance use, or define prenatal substance exposure as child maltreatment in child welfare statutes or as grounds for termination of parental rights. Priority treatment policies are supportive and grant pregnant women priority access to substance use disorder treatment programs. Our empirical strategy relies on administrative data from 2008 to 2018 and a difference‐in‐differences framework that exploits the staggered implementation of these policies. We find that neonatal drug withdrawal syndrome increases by 10%–18% following the implementation of a punitive policy. This growth is accompanied by modest reductions in prenatal care, which may reflect deterrence from healthcare utilization. In contrast, priority treatment policies are associated with small reductions in low gestational age (2%) and low birth weight (2%), along with increases in prenatal care use. Taken together, our findings suggest that punitive approaches may be associated with unintended adverse pregnancy outcomes, and that supportive approaches may be more effective for improving perinatal health.
