BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth is calling for submissions to our Collection on Detecting and treating substance use disorder in pregnancy.
This Collection aims to share advancements in understanding around identifying and intervening in substance use disorder within the pregnant population. Identifying pregnant individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) is crucial for maternal and child health, yet stigma hinders self-reporting and complicates screening. Standardized screening tools and treatment plans, alongside efforts to combat stigma, are essential for timely intervention and improving outcomes for mothers and children affected by SUD during pregnancy.
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being.
