RESUMO
Ninety-seven newborns of drug addicted mothers observed in the period 1978-1986 were compared with the same number of controls. Pregnancies are at risk and newborns suffer a higher incidence of tainted amniotic liquid, low birth weight and preterm gestation. The withdrawal syndrome is the most commonly encountered pathology of such newborns.

An investigation has been carried out on the use by parents during the first year of life of the booklet "Child health from birth to adolescence" published by the Region of Piedmont as part of a programme of preventive medicine of infancy and health education. The research was based on a questionnaire submitted to parents of 1,000 newborns, representative of the population of Turin. The results provide useful information about the development of the child and about the parent-child relationship and also on the utilisation and the utility of the booklet. The investigation also provided invaluable suggestions about modifications required in the booklet in the interests of regional programmes of preventive medicine in infancy.
