Abstract
The clinical usefulness of the Brazelton Neonatal Assessment Scale was explored in examination of infants born to heroin-addicted mothers taking methadone. Scale scores differentiated these babies in drug withdrawal from data of a normal sample and provided important information on courses of illness. Systematic observation of newborn behaviors can be a significant adjunct in diagnosis and management.
