Abstract
Maternal cocaine use has emerged as a major public health concern because the number of users has markedly increased in 1990s and the impact on neonates is severe. The problem of maternal cocaine use is especially important in socioeconomic disadvantaged population since they are more likely to be victims of this drug use. Social support programs including drug education are utmost important and should be offered to all socioeconomic disadvantage pregnant women to prevent and control maternal cocaine use.Keywords
