Published: March 1999

The NNNS provides a comprehensive assessment of the at-risk and drug-exposed infant. The examination was developed for research and has now been extended to clinical practice. It is routinely used in our hospital in several clinical programs. In this article we detailed how the examination is used with substance-involved mothers and their infants.
