An Introduction to Perinatal Substance Use Disorders
Substance use and substance use disorders (SUDs) play a significant role in adverse perinatal outcomes including neonatal withdrawal and maternal mortality. It is important to understand the impacts of substance use in pregnancy, and to identify best practices for perinatal care professionals for reducing the risk of complications.
Join us for a 90-minute webinar exploring the identification of, complications from, and best practices for perinatal substance use disorders. Models for substance use screening in pregnancy will be introduced and applied, and evidence-based treatments will be discussed. In addition, changes to standard obstetric and postpartum care will be identified which will help improve outcomes for the parent-child dyad. If you are a healthcare or public health professional who provides care for pregnant or parenting individuals with SUDs, this webinar offers information to help optimize outcomes at the individual, health system, and community levels.
