Abstract
Pregnant adolescents use cigarettes and alcohol, and possibly illicit drugs, at rates similar to those of their non-pregnant peers. Most discontinue use during the first trimester of pregnancy, but use tends to increase after delivery. Substance use is best detected by direct questioning; urine screening is not universally effective. Several therapeutic interventions can be used in helping pregnant adolescents discontinue substance use and establish a drug-free environment.
