Prenatal exposure to alcohol and other drugs is a leading cause of birth defects and neurodevelopmental abnormalities in the United States. 

This course and PI-CME activities are designed to support family physicians and their team members in enhancing Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) for prenatal alcohol and other substance use for improved patient outcomes.

PI-CME activity:

Stage A: Assessing the current practice by gathering baseline data.

Stage B: Implementing appropriate interventions to improve SBIRT for prenatal alcohol and other substance use.

Stage C: Evaluating the impact of interventions by collecting a new set of data and comparing it to the baseline.

This CME activity is free.

A Note About Language

The words we use matter, especially when discussing alcohol and substance use disorders. The authors have made efforts to use destigmatizing and inclusive language throughout this presentation to help reduce stigma and negative bias. 

Although the term “women” may be used in this presentation, the American Academy of Family Physicians recognizes that family physicians treat people of all gender identities, including people who are cisgender, transgender, gender nonbinary or otherwise gender expansive. The AAFP believes all people should have equitable access to respectful, high-quality, safe health care. In this presentation, the term "women" is intended to be used inclusively. 

For this activity, you will utilize the AAFP’s Office Champions Quality Improvement Model, which consists of three distinct stages.
