Over the past 20 years, we have seen a steadily growing prevalence of pregnancies affected by substance use disorders while the screening, assessment, and evidence-based treatment of pregnant people affected by use disorders has not been a topic routinely taught in our health care training across our disciplines. Perinatal Substance Use Disorders 201 is a webinar created to increase the knowledge and skill set of those who work regularly with families affected by perinatal substance use disorder and expand their expertise in delivering evidence-based perinatal substance use disorder care.
