Strategies for Improving Emotional Well-Being Among LGBTQ Youth: Stories from the Field of MCHHRSA Disclaimer

In honor of Pride Month, AMCHP asked State MCH programs to share what they are doing to improve and support emotional well-being among LGBTQ youth in their states.

Reducing Polysubstance Use in PregnancyHRSA Disclaimer

Tuesday, August 18, 2020
1:00pm to 2:00pm ET

Polysubstance use—the use of multiple substances including tobacco, alcohol, and opioids—during pregnancy can have negative effects on a pregnant woman and the developing baby. Research suggests that polysubstance use during pregnancy is common, and recent evidence suggests that it is most common during the early stages. This session of Public Health Grand Rounds will discuss:

  • Adverse MCH outcomes caused by polysubstance use
  • How data can improve our understanding of polysubstance use
  • How screening and brief interventions may reduce prenatal substance exposure and improve the health of women and infants

There will be a live question and answer segment at the end of the session. Email questions on this topic to grandrounds@cdc.gov.
