Supporting Partners Working to Reduce Substance Use among Pregnant Women
Background
Many Perinatal Quality Collaboratives (PQCs) across the country are focusing some of their work on addressing maternal substance use disorder (SUD). Through funding from a 5-year CDC cooperative agreement, Karna is supporting that work by developing or revising related tools and resources. To help with this, Karna assembled a Maternal Health Advisory Network (MHAN), a diverse group of 15+ expert collaborators, who will provide ongoing input, advice, and ideas to support the PQCs’ effort to decrease maternal substance use.

This video provides an overview of stigma in the clinical setting, examples from patients, definitions of stigma and SUD, overviews of screening, referral, and treatment, and tips for providing compassionate care. This can be used as a short, video-based training when onboarding new staff or when introducing concepts related to maternal SUD.
