DESCRIPTION
Substance use in pregnancy continues to be a significant factor in the morbidity and mortality associated with pregnancy and the newborn and can interfere with the development of a nurturing relationship between mother and child. Most of these complications are preventable, however, if the woman at risk for substance use is identified early and provided appropriate interventions and treatment. This program will present a validated technique for screening pregnant women for substance use, providing brief interventions in the prenatal setting, and conducting appropriate referral of women for gender-specific treatment.
