Perinatal Care for Women Who Are Addicted: Implications for Empowerment.
Carter, Carolyn S.
Health & Social Work, v27 n3 p166-74 Aug 2002
This article explores societal responses to perinatal drug abuse, including stigmatic attitudes and behaviors of health care workers. Empowering strategies are suggested by which social workers and clients can potentially redefine perinatal drug abuse as a health problem rather than a legal issue and improve the environment in which perinatal care is provided.
