Perinatal Substance Use Disorders 101 provides a foundational knowledge of substance use disorders in pregnant mothers and provides learners with the tools and information needed to provide safe, evidence-based care. Topics will include epidemiology, screening, and treatments such as medication for opioid use disorder. Emphasis will be placed on barriers to care, harm reduction in the clinical setting, and engagement with social services and the criminal justice system.

The target audience is the interdisciplinary team with a focus on inpatient and outpatient nurses, social workers, counselors, and medical providers.

1. The chronic disease model and screening and treatment of perinatal substance use
2. Recommendations for best practice for mothers and neonates affected by perinatal substance use
3. Examine barriers to care
4. Develop education and information sharing measures related to SUDs for the team
