We present transverse momentum spectra from d+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV for identified hadrons at mid-rapidity and unidentified hadrons in the forward rapidity region using the Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC. We scale these spectra by the mean number of binary collisions to form a transverse momentum dependent ratio to spectra from p+p collisions, showing that the Cronin effect measured at lower centre-of-mass energies is also present at this higher energy. The data also suggest a dependence of the Cronin effect on the hadron species. We also compare central d+Au collisions to more peripheral ones, contrasting the behaviour to that observed in Au+Au collisions and remark on unidentified hadrons at forward rapidities which show a qualitatively different behaviour.
