“Beyond Opioid Use Disorder”
The theme of the forum this year is to highlight substance use disorders beyond the opioid epidemic in order to broaden awareness and understanding of other substance use issues in our pregnant population (i.e. alcohol and methamphetamines). Given the prevalence and, at times, misinformation surrounding drug testing in pregnancy, we will also include a discussion on the utility and limitations of drug testing.

• 3:00 PM – 3:10 PM
