Abstract / Description

The research team is evaluating how different prenatal substance use policies (PSUPs) impact (1) how systems, such as child welfare, criminal justice and healthcare providers, respond; (2) maternal substance use and healthcare behaviors; and (3) maternal and newborn health. The researchers are also examining whether the policies have differential impact based on the mother’s race and ethnicity. (author introduction)
