The MRC Unit on Anxiety and Stress Disorders at the Department of Psychiatry has data available on prenatal methamphetamine exposure in children for two Masters level student projects. The data was gathered on a community-based prospective, longitudinal study. Methamphetamine use by pregnant women has increased markedly in recent years. However, its effects on brain structure and cognitive function are understudied in prenatally exposed children. The aim of the study was to obtain structural images on brain changes, and cognitive function of children with prenatal MA exposure and normal controls, at age 6-7 and 8-9 years.
