Course Description

The effects of addiction, substance use disorders, and other forms of substance misuse has many broad and persistent health effects in MCH populations. This course will cover the effects of several substances (including, but not limited to, tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, and opioids) on the psychological and physical wellbeing of women, infants, and children. We will also cover current clinical guidelines for treatments and expected treatment outcomes. The course will be especially useful to pre-health science professions students (such as medicine, psychology, pharmacy, nursing, social work, and public health) as well as students from other disciplines planning a career in addiction-related fields.
