Substance use disorders in pregnancy: clinical, ethical, and research imperatives of the opioid epidemic: a report of a joint workshop of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and American Society of Addiction Medicine

Leaders in obstetric care, addiction medicine, mental health, and pediatrics gathered for a 2-day workshop, “Substance Use Disorders in Pregnancy,” that was held in conjunction with the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine’s 38th Annual Pregnancy Meeting.
