Implementing Clinical Practice Guidelines for Tobacco Cessation in a Women's Residential Substance Use Treatment Facility
Background
Tobacco is the leading cause of preventable death, and over 200,000 women die each year of diseases caused by tobacco. Women with substance use disorders (SUDs) are disproportionately affected.

A Review of Unintended Pregnancy in Opioid-Using Women: Implications for Nursing
Conclusions and Implications
Unintended pregnancy rates in opioid-using women were strikingly high, indicating a critical need for intervention. Routine inclusion of pregnancy planning in opioid treatment care is indicated.

A Feasibility Study to Direct System Level Change for Hospital Patients With Alcohol Use Disorder
Conclusion
The pre/post confidence scores were statistically significant (p = .095) using the .10 significance level, indicating the intervention was effective in raising the confidence level for behavior change. High scores indicated patients were in contemplation and intending to change. Seven scores increased postintervention suggesting a future hypothesis that MI, tailored education, and EMR flow sheet documentation intervention is feasible for patients with AUD contemplating change in the near future.
