Project Prevention offers cash incentives to women that
are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol to use long-term
or permanent birth control.
Project Prevention is a national, 501(c)3
organization that has paid clients in 39 states and
the District of Columbia.
Our mission is to reduce the number of
substance exposed births to zero.
Because every baby deserves a sober start!
 
It is estimated that 11-15% of babies born in the United
States are exposed to alcohol or drugs in utero (Poulsen,
1991.)
In 1992-93 221,000 women used illegal drugs during
their pregnancy. (NIDA, 1996)
Nearly 3% of pregnant women use illicit drugs (Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, 2003)
