    Abstract

    Introduction and Aims: Substance use is not unusual among women of childbearing age. According to the National Drug Strategy Household Survey 2013, four in 10 pregnant women consumed alcohol and 2.2% used an illicit substance in pregnancy. The subgroup of mothers who use substance and its impact on newborn vary across studies and settings. It is important to have an overall picture for Australia. This study identifies short-term outcomes of newborn and demographic characteristics of substance-using mothers in Australia.
